Trump Supporters Refuse to Accept Defeat, Call Election Fraud in Atlanta (+Video)
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Chanting "This isn't over!" and "Stop the steal," supporters of Donald Trump protested at state capitols across the US Saturday, refusing to accept defeat and echoing Trump's unsubstantiated allegations that the Democrats won by fraud.
A number of counter-protesters also gathered nearby, holding signs calling Trump "racist."
From Atlanta and Tallahassee to Austin, Bismarck, Boise and Phoenix, crowds ranging in size from a few dozen to a few thousand — some of them openly carrying guns — decried the news of Joe Biden's victory after more than three suspense-filled days of vote-counting put the Democrat over the top. Skirmishes broke out in some cities.
According to a text-statement released by Trump on the media announcement of the election results, his campaign intents to pose a legal challenge to the projected election victory, with no mention of the US president conceding.
