President Trump falsely says he has won the US election, making baseless allegations of fraud

BREAKING: Donald Trump says he will be going to the Supreme Court over the election result.

He claims a "major fraud" is being committed on the American people – without explaining how.

If Trump gets away with this, the post-war world order may not have ended with the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989 as its symbol but with this speech of an American President: pic.twitter.com/gtf4Z7ekPN

No state ever reports final results on election night. President Trump's comments about the status of the election early Wednesday were a blatant misrepresentation of the U.S. electoral process.https://t.co/Bax3iokOaW

Not with a bang but with a WI/MI/PA
Just to be clear, the Republicans have not won this election. Votes have been cast validly by American citizens and the count is not complete. Chris Wallace says on Fox: "This is an extremely flammable situation, and the president threw a match in it" #USElection

I WAS IN IRAN IN 2009 when Pres Ahmadinejad claimed victory before counting finished. He stole the election. It led to horrible violence around Iran. The US and Australia condemned it. So who condemns it when it happens in the US? #USElection #USElection2020 #USElections2020

The delay alone makes it look close. That’s a reward for some very very dirty electoral tricks. We shouldn’t automatically accept that framing.

Trump has succeeded in the sense that it's being reported that he prematurely declared victory, not Trump is losing and his path is narrowing.

The votes are in, but are still being counted. 6 key battleground states are still up for grabs, and both President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden have paths to the White House. https://t.co/6kiCEM0I90 pic.twitter.com/eb0FBnrHZD

Biden takes the lead in Wisconsin. Winning there likely means Trump must win Michigan AND Pennsylvania, but Biden will only need one of the two. https://t.co/UZoU2R5q33

The exit poll data sits rather uncomfortably with the "populism = angry white men" thesis. Whoever wins, Trump's base has broadened and diversified relative to 2016. And that, I suspect, will give 'Trumpism' staying power in the Republican Party. pic.twitter.com/poz0VhvAPZ

So I don't think there's much upside for Trump in Brown County. If it's *all* Green Bay, those ballots should be slightly blue. If it's only Green Bay absentees, they should be quite blue. (I think it's all of Green Bay, not just the absentees.)

Stop wringing your hands. We’re here. What you do now will determine the future.
COUP BY LIVE TV: As @axios reported, and I told you in this video Monday, no matter who denied it, Trump would claim he had won and there was fraud. He has opened Pandora's Box and pointed a gun at the head of American Freedom.
