US President Donald Trump has called for a halt to the recount in Georgia until election commissions begin to verify voter signatures.
“The manual recount that is taking place in Georgia is a waste of time. They don't show matching signatures. It is necessary to stop this counting until they allow the signatures to be verified. Don't let the radical left democrats steal (victory. – RT ) in the elections, “Trump wrote on Twitter.
The hand recount taking place in Georgia is a waste of time. They are not showing the matching signatures. Call off the recount until they allow the MATCH. Don't let the Radical Left Dems STEAL THE ELECTION!

He also stated that observers from his headquarters were not allowed to count the votes. According to Trump, this circumstance alone is enough for him to win the election.
According to him, there is ample evidence that a similar thing happened in the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia and others.
A day earlier, the head of the White House also expressed confidence that he will win the presidential elections in Pennsylvania. He stated that 700,000 ballots were not available in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
“Which means that, in accordance with our great Constitution, we have won in Pennsylvania!” – Trump said.
At the same time, the head of the White House admitted in one of his recent statements that he might not be the head of the next US administration. Talking about the situation with COVID-19 in the United States, the current president said that the current leadership of the country would not introduce quarantine.
“Who knows whose administration will be next – this time will tell, but the current administration will not introduce a lockdown. It is not necessary. Lockdowns cost lives and cause many problems, ”Trump said.
Recall that the presidential elections in the United States were held on November 3. According to the website Real Clear Politics, to date, Biden has managed to enlist the support of 306 electoral college members, and Trump – 232. Note that the total number of electors is 538, to win the election requires 270 votes.
Biden has already declared himself the winner of the last election, but the official vote of the electoral college, which is the final stage of the US presidential election, will take place on December 14.
At the same time, Trump does not admit defeat in the elections, trying to challenge the results of voting in several states. Shortly after the media published preliminary data on Biden's victory, Trump said that “legally cast votes decide who becomes president, not news organizations.”
To date, the Pennsylvania Court of Appeals has satisfied the claim of the incumbent US President Donald Trump. The President expressed his complaints about the counting of ballots submitted by people who could not provide the documents necessary to confirm their identity.
According to the current legislation, voters had to present their identity documents by November 9. But Secretary of State Katie Primer has extended the deadline until November 12. The court ruled that the official had no authority to do so.
Against the backdrop of these events, a joint statement by members of the executive committee of the US Government's Electoral Infrastructure Coordination Council and the country's Sectoral Electoral Infrastructure Coordination Council states that the presidential elections in the United States were “the safest in American history.”
“There is no evidence that any of the voting systems have removed, lost, altered votes or that their security has been compromised in any way,” the statement said.
It also reported that “a lot of unsubstantiated allegations” and “opportunities for spreading disinformation about the electoral process” exist in the United States.
“We can assure you that we are fully confident in the safety and integrity of our elections, and you must be sure of this too,” the statement said.
We add that on November 14, an action was held in Washington in support of the current head of state. The participants gathered near the White House, the surrounding neighborhoods were blocked by the police. At the same time, there were opponents of Trump in front of the presidential residence, who shouted calls for the departure of the head of state from his post. The president himself said that in Washington “hundreds of thousands of people” gathered to support him.
Later, opponents of the American leader took to the streets again. Their rally was accompanied by clashes with the police, according to media reports, 20 people were detained. Trump himself criticized the protestors who caused the riots.
“The radical leftist rabble from the Antifa was easily thrown away by the crowd at the big MAGA rally in Washington. They returned at night after 99% of the people had left to attack the elderly and families. The police were there, but a little late. The mayor is not doing his job! ” – he wrote on Twitter.
