US President Donald Trump on Thursday sent out insinuations again that fraud is at the root of his defeat in the past presidential election. This time he was impatient on Twitter about the vote count in the state of North Carolina.

“Why is it taking so long in North Carolina? Are they looking for more votes to fix election too? ”Trump wrote on the social networking site. In North Carolina, the Republican president is in the lead.
At the same time, Trump also reiterated that election observers were denied access to the Pennsylvania and Michigan censuses. That claim has been rejected several times by local authorities, and Twitter immediately posted a warning with the tweet.
Trump also expects to win the majority in the Georgia vote recount. According to preliminary results, Democratic challenger Joe Biden has a lead of 14,000 votes.
217 electorial votes
Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election on Saturday. He has 279 electors behind him, against 217 for Trump. The Republican, however, refuses to accept his defeat and insinuates cheating at the polls.
Senate Democratic Group Leader Chuck Schumer called on the Republican Party again on Thursday to recognize Biden’s victory and end the undermining of American democracy. “The Republicans in Congress are casting doubt about our election because they are afraid of Donald Trump,” he fulminated at a press conference.
