President Donald Trump says the US election process is worse than that of third world countries.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Trump once again rejected the victory of Joe Biden, candidate of the Democratic Party, in the November 3 election.
Biden secured 306 electoral votes to defeat Trump, incumbent president, who polled 232 electoral votes. 270 electoral votes are required to win the presidency.
While Biden polled 81,283,485 popular votes, Trump secured 74,233,744 votes.
“They just happened to find 50,000 ballots late last night. The USA is embarrassed by fools. Our Election Process is worse than that of third world countries!” Trump tweeted.
However, the Democratic Party, on Wednesday, won two Georgia run-offs election, to draw the party close of leading the US congress.
TheCable had reported how Trump encouraged Mike Pence, the vice president, who is also the head of the American senate, to “reject fraudulently chosen electors”, ahead of Wednesday’s joint session of the congress.
On Wednesday, Trump repeated his call to Pence to send “fraudulent votes” back to states.
“States want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud, plus corrupt process never received legislative approval. All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!” he wrote.
