Donald Trump reacts to US election results: ‘We will win’

At almost 2.30am local time, the President posted a string of tweets which again slammed the electoral system.

“I easily WIN the Presidency of the United States with LEGAL VOTES CAST. The OBSERVERS were not allowed, in any way, shape, or form, to do their job and therefore, votes accepted during this period must be determined to be ILLEGAL VOTES. U.S. Supreme Court should decide!” he posted.

Mr Trump is yet to present any credible evidence of widespread election fraud.

Mr Trump’s Senate allies Senators Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz have echoed the President’s allegations of electoral fraud.

Speaking on Fox News, Senator Lindsey Graham said he planned to donate $US500,000 towards legal action regarding election procedures in key states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Nevada.

“Philadelphia elections are crooked as a snake. Why are they shutting people out? Because they don’t want people to see what they’re doing,” Mr Graham said.

Senator Ted Cruz also sided with Mr Trump and demanded access to the vote counting.

“I’ll tell you the president is angry and I’m angry and the voters ought to be angry,” he said.

“We need to get in there now.”

There has been no evidence of election fraud in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Nevada or elsewhere in the 2020 election.

AP has fact-checked a string of allegations made by Donald Trump on Thursday – and shut down some of his biggest arguments.

Most notably, the organisation insists the President had failed to produce any evidence of fraud so far, despite claiming his rivals were trying to “steal” the election from him.
