During the early hours of Wednesday President Donald Trump told supporters at the White House this close presidential election could be headed to the Supreme Court.
The President is questioning vote counting that seemed to come to a stop in critical states that were favoring him.
“We won states - and all of a sudden, I said what happened to the election? It’s off. And we have all these announcers saying what happened, and then they said oh, because you know what happened? They knew they couldn’t win, so they said, let’s go to court, and did I predict this Newt? Did I say this? I’ve been saying this from the day I heard they were going to send out tens of millions of ballots. I said exactly— because either they were going to win, or if they didn’t win they’ll take us to court,” Trump said.
“Florida was a tremendous victory, 377,000. Texas as we said. Ohio, think of this - Ohio, a tremendous state, a big state, I love Ohio, we won by 8.1 percent, 461,000. Think of it, almost 500,000 votes. North Carolina, big victory with North Carolina. And so we won there, we lead by 76,000 votes with almost nothing left. And all of a sudden everything just stopped.
This is a fraud on the American public. This is an embarrassment to our country. We were getting ready to win this election, frankly we did win this election. We did win this election. So our goal now is to ensure the integrity for the good of this nation, this is a very big moment. This is a major fraud on our nation. We want the law to be used in the proper manner.
So we will be going to the U.S. Supreme Court. We want all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list. OK? It’s a very sad - it’s a very sad moment. To me, this is a very sad moment, and we will win this, and as far as I’m concerned, we already have won it.”
