One of lawyers from Donald Trump he said it will look like “very suspicious” if some of the results of the mid-term elections they are not announced until Wednesday morningsuggesting that Republicans may once again question some votes.
Cristina Boba announcer from TV from Right before joining Trump’s legal teammade the comment during an appearance on the Right Side Broadcasting Network (RSBN).
Trump continues to falsely insist that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against himalthough this claim has been repeatedly rejected both in court and by independent electoral experts.
Americans go to the polls in crucial elections Tuesday, with control of both the Senate and the House, along with state-level seats up for grabs. Speaking on RSBN, Bobb said: “I hope to find out who won in the middle of the night, maybe very early Wednesday morning«.

“If it doesn’t happen, and if the Democrats try to extend the vote, I think it will be very difficult for them to do so with any level of credibility.”
“In 2020 they were able to do it because they denounced COVID. They had this excuse that we all knew was silly because they had to go get multiple cards and collect all the cards. But I think that it will be very difficult to do tomorrow because everyone knows it«.
Bobb went on to say it’s a “game to play” that the ballots can be counted early Wednesday morning.
Commented: “There’s no reason I can’t count. Let’s say there are 4 million voters in Michigan or Ohio and they reach 3.5 million by midnight. Are you telling me you can’t get over another half a million in a couple of hours? “
“There should definitely be a result no later than the middle of the night, early Wednesday morning. I think those areas that don’t have a result will look very suspicious. “
However, the vote-counting system, including ballot papers by correspondence, varies by state. Results from some states are not expected for several days, despite Bobb’s comments.
In California, for example, where the majority of the population uses mail order ballots, full results aren’t expected until at least November 15, according to election analysis website FiveThirtyEight.
Likewise, in Utah, where nearly all ballots are mailed, the results are not expected to be published until November 22.
