latest from Trump Camp.“We’ll be going to the US Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop,”

President Donald Trump has said the election “is a fraud on the American public”.

“We’ll be going to the US Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop,” he said as results appeared to give his rival, Joe Biden, the edge in a tight race.

First of all, there are large numbers of legitimate votes in battleground states that remain uncounted, which could swing the election either way.

On the allegation of fraud, Trump did not give any specific examples and studies done on previous elections have shown that voter fraud is extremely rare.

Trump has frequently made the claim that postal ballots – being used extensively this time due to the pandemic – are subject to widespread fraud.

This is not the case, and we’ve looked into the issue here.

The only other complaints of fraud that we’ve seen for this election have been unsubstantiated rumours on social media.

In late September, FBI director Christopher Wray said they had not seen “any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election”.
