President Donald Trump said in a Sunday morning interview with FOX News that he will continue to challenge election results in various swing states even after the Supreme Court declined to hear a major suit brought forward by Texas and a number of other states, Epoch Times reports.
"No, it’s not over. We keep going and we’re going to continue to go forward. We have numerous local cases," Trump stated. The Trump campaign has filed dozens of lawsuits across the United States since the election on November 3rd claiming widespread voting irregularities and fraud. None of his lawsuits have thus far been successful.
Most recently, the state of Texas filed a case with the Supreme Court attempting to sue the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan on the basis of unproven allegations of fraud. The Supreme Court refused to take up the case, writing that "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections. All other pending motions are dismissed as moot."
In the United States, presidential elections are run by each individual state rather than nationally, so a single state has little authority over other states in regard to voting procedures.
"We’re going to speed it up as much as we can, but you can only go so fast," Trump complained. "They give us very little time. But we caught them, as you know, as fraudulent, dropping ballots, doing so many things, nobody can even believe it."
"This wasn’t like a close election," Trump argued. "You look at Georgia. We won Georgia big. We won Pennsylvania big. We won Wisconsin big. We won it big."
Trump further suggested that Democrats "outsmarted" Republicans by allegedly rigging the election. He further repeated his claim that he actually received "75 million votes," which he described as the "biggest number of votes in the history of our country ever gotten by a sitting president."
While some cases of election fraud have been discovered by authorities, they do not constitute nearly enough to overturn any state election results.
The results of the 2020 election will be officially declared on Monday after the Electoral College officially casts their votes for President. While the vast majority of electors cast their votes for the candidate which won a plurality of the vote in their state, and in many cases are bound by law to do so, seven electors in 2016 casted ballots for candidates aside from Trump or Hillary Clinton.
