Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford responded to the steps of the prospective incumbent Donald Trump which filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court to stop vote counting in elections in Nevada, Pennsylvania and Georgia.
“We don’t feel weak. If you look at our track record, we’ve been against Mr. Trump,” Ford told CNN, quoted Thursday (5/11).
He said his party had already faced Trump at the green table when he was threatened several times with election matters.
“(Trump) sued us two, maybe three times,” he said.
“And every time (being sued) we can cooperate with the district attorney … and fight the lawsuit,” he continued.
Ford said the last lawsuit was filed last month. In his lawsuit, Trump’s campaign team with the Republican State Party asked for the counting of votes that had been entered to stop. However, the lawsuit was rejected.
At that time, they claimed that the computer equipment used to match the voters’ signatures was not optimal. Then the counting process which can be supervised by observers is also criticized.

“We actually have safeguards to prevent fraud, such as signature verification and unique barcode codes which are also part of the (vote count) process here,” he said.
He is also optimistic that Nevada’s vote counting mechanism will be strong against Trump’s legal challenges.
So far, the US media is still counting votes in Nevada and other states, such as Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia.
Quoting The Guardian’s tally as of Thursday (5/11), at 15.17 WIB, Joe Biden-Kamala Harris was still ahead with 264 electoral votes. The road to winning the presidential election is just waiting for 6 more electoral votes.
Meanwhile, Trump’s position still lags behind 214 electoral votes. The gap is even further after Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan turned to support the Democratic Party.
