‘The presidency literally hangs in the balance’


With lawsuits already underway in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, the Trump campaign on Thursday morning announced two lawsuits in Nevada to stop the counting of what it calls “illegal votes.”


Claiming to have evidence of dead voters and non-resident ballots, Trump campaign adviser Matt Schlapp emphasized the importance of Nevada’s six electoral votes, with both the president and Democratic nominee Joe Biden having a path to 270 votes.



“The presidency literally hangs in the balance,” he said.


“What we want to be able to do is to make sure that the counting that occurred and the results that happened can be respected by every American voter across this land and truly across the world,” said Schlapp.


Both Republicans and Democrats need to be allowed to monitor the vote-counting, he said, “so that there is transparency.”


Laxalt told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Wednesday night that there is “no question that Donald Trump would have won Nevada last night convincingly if we did not move to mail-in ballots.


Meanwhile, the Trump campaign announced Wednesday it filed a lawsuit in Michigan to gain “meaningful access” to ballot counts and is filing for a recount in Wisconsin. A lawsuit was filed Wednesday night to temporarily halt the ballot counting in Georgia. And in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, President Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani explained why the campaign is suing to stop ballot counting in the state, where Trump holds a shrinking lead. The campaign also is intervening in an appeal before the Supreme Court to invalidate a decision to count mail-in ballots received by Friday.


Among many reports of alleged fraud, the Trump campaign points to allegations of vote dumps early Wednesday morning in Michigan and Wisconsin of more than 100,000 ballots in which the votes were 100% for Biden. Pollster Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight, who had predicted Biden had a 90% chance of becoming president, reported a dump of 23,277 votes in Philadelphia were “all for Biden.”


On Thursday, an appellate court in Pennsylvania ruled Republican poll watchers can monitor ballot counts from six feet away after being pushed away as far as 100 feet.


“The media and the insiders in the city, they’ve been trying to count Donald Trump out for years,” Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien told reporters on a call. “Donald Trump is alive and well.”


“We will win Pennsylvania. I have as much confidence today as I had yesterday. We also won a major victory in Pennsylvania this morning that helps ensure the transparency and openness that Pennsylvania deserves is held true,” he said.
