Trump Announces ‘Major Complaints’ Related to Elections
In the second week following the U.S. elections, Trump continues to refuse accepting his electoral defeat. He has spoken of “major complaints” that could discredit the announced election results and lead to his victory.
Donald Trump’s legal team is not optimistic about the future of the legal dispute over the results of the U.S. elections on November 3rd. In such circumstances, Donald Trump, once again emphasizing electoral fraud, has announced the continuation of this dispute over the election results and stated that his lawyers will pursue “major complaints” to defend the U.S. Constitution.
This comes as even some Republican members of Congress and senators have criticized the White House’s unconventional approach to the elections.
Donald Trump announced via a Twitter post: “Our major complaints will soon be presented. Complaints that reveal violations of the U.S. Constitution in connection with the 2020 elections and expose actions that shamefully altered the results.”
U.S. state and federal courts have thus far rejected the legal claims by Trump’s lawyers regarding widespread electoral fraud. The elections have even been described as the “most secure” in all of American history.
Trump’s legal team aims to invalidate the election results in Pennsylvania and declare hundreds of thousands of ballots counted after November 3rd as invalid.
Trump has placed all his hopes on intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court. He wrote in a tweet: “Those responsible for defending the Constitution should not allow mail-in ballots from the 2020 elections to be counted in the result.”
A majority of the 9 seats on the U.S. Supreme Court are held by conservative forces. Three of these justices were appointed to the Supreme Court during Trump’s presidency at his recommendation.
The most recent example was two weeks before the elections. Trump succeeded in confirming Amy Coney Barrett, his suggested nominee for the Supreme Court, with the support of a Republican majority in the Senate.
