“President Trump and his allies are setting the stage to claim a Joe Biden presidency would be illegitimate, baselessly questioning everything from how ballots are counted to whether ‘fake’ polls suggesting blue waves that never came are tantamount to voter suppression,” Axios reports.
“Arguing that he was wrongfully removed from office could give Trump a face-saving way to explain a possible election loss. It also could distract from a Biden presidency in transition.”
Said Trump in a statement: “If you count the legal votes, I easily win the election! If you count the illegal and late votes, they can steal the election from us.”
