WASHINGTON D.C. — The Trump campaign released a statement Friday morning saying “This election is not over.” In the statement, the Trump campaign says Georgia is headed for a recount, that there are “irregularities” in Pennsylvania, and that thousands of people improperly cast mail ballots in Nevada.
Election officials in each state are saying there have been no irregularities.

Trump’s lead in several battleground states was chipped away by ballots that are still being counted. Trump was leading in Georgia and Pennsylvania until early Friday morning when election officials posted new election results.

Now, Biden has more votes in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada. This would give Biden enough electoral votes to become the 46th President of the United States. However, ballots are still being counted in these states as well as in North Carolina and Alaska. Trump must win Pennsylvania to have enough electoral votes to be re-elected.
Read the full statement from the Trump campaign here:
“This election is not over. The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final. Georgia is headed for a recount, where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested, and where President Trump will ultimately prevail. There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania, including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations. We prevailed in court on our challenge, but were deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law. In Nevada, there appear to be thousands of individuals who improperly cast mail ballots. Finally, the President is on course to win Arizona outright, despite the irresponsible and erroneous ‘calling’ of the state for Biden by Fox News and the Associated Press. Biden is relying on these states for his phony claim on the White House, but once the election is final, President Trump will be re-elected.”
