Trump wants Supreme Court to stop ballot counts in undecided states

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would go to the Supreme Court to stop ballot counting in the presidential election, after claiming that continuation was a “fraud on the American public.”

Trump gave remarks in the East Room of the White House early on Wednesday morning as millions of votes were still being counted across the United States. Trump said that he was winning Florida, Ohio, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, and Pennsylvania by a wide margin. No media outlets and no election officials have yet called a winner in Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan or Pennsylvania.

Claiming that he wanted law to be used in the proper manner, he said that he would be going to the US Supreme Court because he wanted “all voting to stop. We don’t want them to find any ballots at 4 o’clock in the morning and add them to the list.” In closing, he claimed victory, saying: “We will win this, and, as far as I’m concerned, we already have.”

At this juncture there are no legal mechanisms to bring a challenge to authorized counts of legal mail-in ballots to the Supreme Court.  State ballot counts supervised by local Secretaries of State are continuing.
