Statement by President Donald J. Trump

"We all know why Joe Biden is in a hurry to falsely claim victory and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: They don't want the truth to come out.
The simple fact is, this election is far from over.
Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any state, let alone any of the hard-fought states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the final outcome.
In Pennsylvania, for example, legal observers were not granted meaningful access to follow the recount process. Legal polls decide who is president, not the news media. "Starting Monday, our campaign will pursue our case in court to ensure the electoral laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner sits.
The American people are entitled to an honest election: that means all legal ballots and no illegal ballots are counted.
This is the only way to ensure that the public has full confidence in our election. It remains shocking that the Biden Campaign refuses to agree to this basic principle and wants ballots to be counted even if they are fraudulently produced, manufactured or submitted by ineligible or deceased voters.
Only a party involved in misconduct would illegally keep observers out of the counting room-and then fight in court to block their access. "So what is Biden hiding?
I will not rest until the American people have the honest vote they deserve and democracy demands. - President Donald J. Trump
