REPLAY. American presidential election: the first polling stations have closed, Donald Trump has denounced massive fraud… the film from the start of the day in the USA
The evening began with the first accusations of “massive” fraud launched by Donald Trump, denied by the authorities
Donald Trump spoke at the beginning of the evening of “rumors” according to which the voting operations in Philadelphia were parasitized by “massive fraud”, without providing the slightest proof to these accusations, denied by the authorities. “There are a lot of rumors about massive fraud in Philadelphia,” wrote the Republican candidate for the White House about this Democratic stronghold of Pennsylvania, undoubtedly the most contested state in his duel with Kamala Harris.
Philadelphia authorities strongly disputed the accusations. “This assertion is completely unfounded,” said Seth Bluestein, a city official, on voting in Philadelphia took place “safely”.
There is absolutely no truth to this allegation. It is yet another example of disinformation. Voting in Philadelphia has been safe and secure. pic.twitter.com/wMiPnAgO17
