President Donald Trump said he would likely take legal action if he thinks Tuesday’s election is contested, namely in Pennsylvania—a key battleground state.
“As soon as that election is over, we’re going in with our lawyers,” Trump told reporters before he held a rally in North Carolina on Sunday.
The president said that ballot-counting efforts after Nov. 3 in Pennsylvania and other states would be unfair. Several counties in Pennsylvania have announced that they would count votes after Election Day.
“I don’t think it’s fair that we have to wait for a long period of time after the election,” Trump said, adding it would be a “terrible thing.”
He added, “If people wanted to get their ballots in, they should have gotten their ballots in long before that. They don’t have to put their ballots in on the same day, they could have put them in a month ago. We think it is ridiculous decision.”
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, wrote on Twitter that “our elections are over when all the votes are counted.” He then wrote to Trump: “But if your lawyers want to try us, we’d be happy to defeat you in court one more time.”
