Want Americans to have faith in current and future elections, says Trump

Reiterating his allegations of large voters fraud and electoral malpractice within the presidential polls, US President Donald Trump has instructed his supporters his combat was to make sure that Americans place confidence in this and future elections.

“Within days after the election, we witnessed an orchestrated effort to anoint a winner, even while many key states were still being counted. The Constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We are going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring that every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted,” Trump instructed his supporters at a White House Christmas Party on Tuesday.

“This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me. It’s about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election, and in all future elections,” Trump mentioned, in line with a transcript of his 45-minutes speech on the occasion which was closed for the press, however considered one of his supporters had it reside on Facebook.

Trump alleged the “corrupt mail-in balloting scheme that Democrats systematically put into place” allowed voting to be altered, particularly in swing states, which they needed to win.

“While it has long been understood that the Democrat political machine engages in voter fraud, from Detroit to Philadelphia to Milwaukee, Atlanta, so many other places, what changed this year was the Democrat party’s relentlessly push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots, sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind,” he mentioned.

This allowed, he alleged, fraud and abuse to happen on a scale by no means seen earlier than.

Using the pandemic as a pretext, Democrat politicians and judges drastically modified election procedures, simply months, and in some circumstances, weeks, earlier than the election, he mentioned. Very not often had been legislatures concerned which was Constitutionally required, he mentioned.

“But very, very rarely, and you’ll see that as we continue to file our suits, it’s Constitutionally, absolutely incorrect what took place, even from a legal standpoint.

“Many states, such as Nevada and California, sent millions of live ballots to every person on their voter rolls, whether those individuals had requested ballots or not,” he mentioned. Whether they had been lifeless or alive, they received the ballots, he claimed. Other states, comparable to Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin instituted common absentee balloting proper in the course of an election 12 months sending absentee poll request varieties to all voters, on all rolls, he mentioned.

This colossal enlargement of mail-in voting opened the floodgates to large fraud, alleged the president. Notably, election officers and media have mentioned there was no proof of large voters fraud as being alleged by Trump. “It is a travesty that in the year 2020 we do not have any means of verifying the eligibility of those who cast ballots in an election, and such an important election it is, for determining who they are, whether they live in the state or whether they are even American citizens,” Trump alleged. He alleged that the Dominion voting system switched his votes to rival Joe Biden, who’s now the President-elect. “Ninety-six percent of the company’s political donations went to Democrats, not surprisingly. And frankly, when you look at who’s running the company, who’s in charge, who owns it, which we don’t know, where are the votes counted, which we think are counted in foreign countries, not in the United States,” he mentioned.

Trump mentioned that China is pleased with the election outcomes because it didn’t need him to win. “We’re going to show it, and hopefully the courts; in particular, the Supreme Court of the United States; will see it. And respectfully, hopefully, they will do what’s right for our country. Because our country cannot live with this kind of an election. We could say, ‘Let’s go on to the next one’. But no, we have to look also at our past. We can’t let this happen.” Trump mentioned that the “fraud” that his marketing campaign has collected in latest weeks is overwhelming, having to do with the election. “Everyone is saying, ‘Wow, the evidence is overwhelming’, when they get to see it. But really, it’s too late to change the course of an election. It’s too late to change the outcome. In fact, there is still plenty of time to certify the correct winner of the election and that’s what we’re fighting to do,” he mentioned.

This is a nationwide shame, he mentioned, including many European nations have instituted main restrictions on mail-in voting particularly as a result of they recognise the practically limitless potential for fraud. “The pandemic simply gave the Democrats an excuse to do what they have been trying to do for many, many years. In fact, the very first bill that House Democrats introduced when Nancy Pelosi became speaker was an attempt to mandate universal mail-in voting and eliminate measures such as voter ID, which is so necessary,” he mentioned. “Dramatically eroding the integrity of our elections was the Democrat’s number one priority for a simple reason: they wanted to steal the 2020 presidential election,” he alleged. Trump mentioned that the one solution to decide whether or not there was an trustworthy vote is to conduct a full assessment of the envelopes within the related states. “You will find that many of them, tens of thousands, have fraudulent signatures. A full forensic audit is required to ensure that only legal ballots from lawfully registered voters that were properly cast are included in the final count,” he mentioned. “This election was rigged,” he alleged.
