Downcast Trump makes baseless election fraud claims in White House address


中文重點整理 曹長青

川普總統剛剛在白宮舉行了記者會,這是選後首次,他說:

1,媒體事先預測這次大選會是民主黨大回潮,結果證明他們錯了,是假預測。這次大選我們贏很多,在媒體預測拜登大贏的佛州,我們輕鬆取勝,在俄亥俄也如此。我們不僅保住了參議院的多數席位,在眾議院一席都沒丟,還增加很多席。

2,我們有很多證據證明選票有作弊。民主黨掌權的州,計票時不允許共和黨的監票員進入,這就是要作弊。

3,我們已起訴,有很多官司,可能會打到最高法院;4,絕不容忍選舉被偷走,因為這損害的是我們的制度。

President Trump repeated his unfounded claim that his political opponents were trying to steal the election from him during a briefing on Wednesday evening as he trailed his opponent and remaining swing states were leaning toward a Joe Biden presidency.

“They’re trying to rig an election. They’re trying to steal an election,” the commander in chief said from the White House Briefing Room, offering no evidence to back up the claims.

The president railed against what he called “illegal votes,” appearing not to want tounderstand that the US election is still in progress as legal mail-in votes are being counted and that the 2020 presidential race was simply nopt able to be decalred on Election Night due to the coronavirus.

“If you count the legal votes, I easily win. If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us, if you could the votes that came in late,” Trump said, also unloading on what he called “phony polls” that were wildly inaccurate, some of which predicted a “blue wave” that never came.

It was Trump’s first appearance in almost two days after his early Wednesday speech where he also claimed Democrats were using “fraud” to help Biden win.

With the former veep leading the Electoral College and swing states coming down to the wire, the president has deployed surrogates to key states to claim the election is being stolen from him.

The votes currently being tabulated are legal mail-in ballots but the president claimed without evidence that the system was “corrupt” and again suggested Democrats were producing fake ballots to oust him.

The president’s reelection campaign has also filed a flurry of lawsuits in must-win states including Georgia and Pennsylvania in a bid to halt vote counting until their poll watchers are given better access to oversee the process.

Trump has been tweeting up a storm from the White House residence since Wednesday, raging against “disappearing” and “surprise” ballots as he trails Joe Biden in must-win states.

As he took the podium on Thursday evening, his once-commanding 441,000 ballot lead in the must-win Keystone State had dwindled to less than 75,000 votes and he was ahead in ruby red Georgia by the razor thin margin of just 8,000.

The president’s re-election campaign has been particularly aggrieved by Fox News’ decision to call the swing state of Arizona late on Wednesday evening, followed by Associated Press, when hundreds of thousands of votes were still uncounted.

On a call with reporters earlier Thursday, senior advisor Jason Miller said the campaign would “very aggressively” continue to push the publications to reverse their calls.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden has essentially declared himself the victor even as counting continues in six states.
