US President Donald Trump had on Friday claimed his party agents were barred from observing vote counting in parts of the country.

The Republican candidate seeking re-election said his campaign office has started a lot of litigations against Democrat challenger Joe Biden and his party, alleging that “they are trying to rig an election and we can’t let that happen”.

Trump said, “Our goal is to defend the integrity of the election. We will not allow corruption to steal such an important election. We can’t allow anybody to silence our voters and manufacture results,” he alleged.

He added that, “There are now only a few states yet to be decided in the presidential race. We were winning in all the key locations actually and then our numbers started getting miraculously whittled away in secret and they wouldn’t allow legally, permissible observers.

“In a couple of instances, we were able to get the observers in and when the observers got in, they wanted them 60, 70 feet away outside the building to observe people inside the building.

“In Philadelphia, observers are being kept far away, so far that people are using binoculars to try and see and there have been tremendous problems because they put papers on all of the windows so you can’t see. The people that are banned are very unhappy.”

Both candidates still have a chance at winning the White House by hitting the majority threshold of 270 of the electoral votes awarded to whichever candidate wins the popular vote in a given state.
