Donald Trump claims Democrats are stealing election and calls to stop counting ballots.

Washington, November 6 (RHC)-- U.S. President Donald Trump addressed the nation early on Thursday evening and falsely claimed victory, accusing Democrats of trying to steal the election.  He offered no evidence to back up his claims.

Trump said: “We think there’s going to be a lot of litigation, because we have so much evidence, so much proof.  And it’s going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land.  We’ll see.  But we think there will be a lot of litigation, because we can’t have an election stolen like this.”

ABC, CBS, NBC and MSNBC all stopped airing Trump’s speech live because it was filled with lies about the election and the vote-counting process.

In related news, the Donald Trump campaign faced multiple setbacks in the courtroom.  In Georgia, a judge dismissed a lawsuit claiming without evidence that some 53 absentee ballots arrived too late to be counted.  In Michigan, a judge rejected the campaign’s request to stop the counting of absentee ballots.  In Pennsylvania, a federal judge dismissed a Republican request to halt vote counting in Philadelphia.  

The Trump campaign had initially claimed its observers had been barred from monitoring the count, but in the courtroom a lawyer for the campaign admitted that the Trump team did in fact have observers inside.  The judge — who was appointed by George W. Bush — said: “I’m sorry, then what’s your problem?” 

Meanwhile, in Nevada, the Trump campaign announced plans to ask a federal court to “stop the counting of improper votes.”  Nevada election officials say there is no evidence of improper ballots being counted.  The Trump campaign did succeed in Pennsylvania on one minor legal fight as a state judge ruled Trump campaign workers can get closer to the ballot counting in Philadelphia.
