The former president of the United States (2017-2021) and Republican candidate, Donald Trump, agitated this Wednesday the specter of electoral fraud in Pennsylvaniahe key state with the greatest weight in the elections on November 5.
“Pennsylvania is cheating on a large scale, at levels never seen before, and they have been caught,” Trump declared in a message on social media in which he encouraged his followers to “report the deceptions of the authorities.” Pennsylvania is the hinge state with the largest population. There Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, compete for the 19 electoral votes that are at stake.
In recent days, several Republican politicians have been spreading viral videos on social networks about alleged irregularities in voting by mail in Pennsylvania. The Republican campaign complained Tuesday that the post office in Buck County had closed early despite the long line of people seeking to cast their ballots early, calling it “repressive and intimidating.”
County officials explained that the office prohibited people from lining up after mid-afternoon. to be able to close as scheduled at 5:00 p.m. The president of the Republican National Committee, Michael Whatley, announced this Wednesday that a judge agreed with them and ordered the county to extend the days to cast votes by mail.
In 2020, Trump refused to accept his defeat against Democrat Joe Biden and launched several legal disputes over alleged electoral fraud. that were dismissed by the courts. The Republican, who is accused in court for allegedly having encouraged the assault on the Capitol in 2021 to stop the transition of powers, still does not admit that he lost those elections and assures that he will only accept the results of next November 5 if the elections are ” righteous.”
