President Trump Claims Election Fraud Without Evidence, Blasts 'Big Media' and 'Big Tech'

President Trump claimed on Thursday, without evidence, that the election is being stolen from him, and blasted “Big Media” and “Big Tech” for so-called interference. Trump made a lengthy address from the White House briefing room, his first appearance since early Wednesday morning. He claimed that he will win if “legal votes” are counted, but alleged that local election officials are working to hand the victory to Joe Biden. “If you count the legal votes I easily win,” he said. “If you count the illegal votes they can try to steal the election from us.” Trump made the claims without offering supporting evidence. He cited several legal cases around the country, where his campaign has alleged that Republican observers were not allowed to view the counting process. “There’s going to be a lot of litigation,” he said. “It’s going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land. We can’t have an election stolen like this.” Trump had earlier made a series of similar claims on Twitter, where they were flagged for being potentially misleading. One read “STOP THE FRAUD!” Trump complained about polls that showed him doing substantially worse than his showing in various states on Election Day, which he alleged was designed to suppress turnout among his supporters. He singled out the Quinnipiac University Poll, saying it “was wrong on every occasion that I know of,” including predicting Biden would win in Florida and Ohio, states Trump secured in the election. “We won these and many other victories despite historic election interference from Big Media, Big Money and Big Tech,” he said.
