BREAKING: Again, Donald Trump Tweets “STOP THE COUNT” – #JoeBidenKamalaHarris2020—The 45th and current president of the United States, Donald Trump has reiterated his stand on the ongoing Presidential election in the state. Trump and his Republican allies want vote counting to stop in some selected states.
Notably, Trump’s initial lead in the states where he wants ballot counting to stop has either significantly narrowed or been overcome by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. On Wednesday afternoon, Biden won Michigan, according to Decision Desk HQ and other major news outlets.
Trump-supporting protesters chanted “Stop the count!” outside a vote counting center in Detroit, Michigan on Wednesday. Meanwhile, other Trump-supporting protesters shouted “Count that vote!” outside a ballot-tallying facility in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Joe Biden has expressed confidence that he will win the election and has enough states in the bag to reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes.
His statement came as he was projected to win the critical battleground states of Michigan and Wisconsin, taking his tally to 253. He also holds narrow leads in swing states of Nevada and Arizona, while President Donald Trump leads in Pennsylvania, Georgia and North Carolina.
He made this known via his official twitter handle Thursday afternoon. He tweeted:
STOP THE COUNT!
STOP THE COUNT!

The Genius Media Nigeria reports that In Michigan and Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign is calling for “meaningful” access to the ballot-counting process, claiming that it doesn’t have sufficient means to oversee ballot tallying and look over ballots that have been counted.

@waltshaub: Oh, Donald Donald Donald. Have some dignity in defeat. People won’t be able to get this image of you on your knees groveling out of their heads. Look at you, Donald. Your tears are smearing that orange makeup and two of your Bobby pins have come loose. Chin up, old chap.
@TrumpVoterWTF: Sir, you are my fire. The one desire. Believe when I say, I want it that way. But, electoral votes are two worlds apart. Tell me why, this election ain’t nothin’ but a heartache. Tell me why, vote counts ain’t nothin’ but a mistake. I never wanna hear you say, I want it that way.
@eugenegu: Stop the count? This is literally something a brutal dictator would say in the middle of an election. We live in a democracy. Every vote matters because we the American people deserve free and fair elections. This isn’t Belarus or Russia. This is the United States of America.
@see081480: Yes. Stop counting ballots that we don’t know where they came from and were received after the election. This is ridiculous. Come on Supreme Court
