News from Al-Madinah: On Tuesday, former US President Donald Trump claimed that Pennsylvania’s midterm elections were being rigged.
Trump is not a stranger to doubting the workings of American democracy. According to a French News Agency source, he made a valiant effort to present Joe Biden with his defeat in the 2020 presidential elections by spreading a barrage of false information regarding alleged forgeries.
In a post on his social media site, “Truth Soshal,” Trump stated: “Here we have returned again,” commented: “Forged elections,” and linked a report from an unidentified right-wing website claiming that hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania voting ballots may be subject to fraud.
According to 15 Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania, who made the accusation last week, up until October 21 more than 240,000 ballots had been given to voters “whose identities were not confirmed.”
“This is a huge number of polling cards, which must be in compliance with the law aside and not calculated in the 2022 elections unless the voter highlighted his identity card,” the legislators wrote in a letter to the state government.
“For its part, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pennsylvania claimed that the communication was based on a faulty knowledge of how things worked in the state and confused requests for mail-in voting with polling cards that were approved.
In a statement, the ministry, which oversees the state elections, said: “As opposed to what some MPs assert, only 240,000 ballots have not been confirmed. This information is false.
“In Pennsylvania, those who wish to get mail-in ballots must submit identification documentation either together with their request or separately. According to “Arabi 21,” the identity is confirmed before calculating the sound.
Voter votes are not counted if they are not submitted by the final deadline, which is six days after the election.
About 7,600 requests, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, have been confirmed at the state level.
On Friday, Trump described the electoral process in Pennsylvania as “complete chaos”, saying: “Democrats are playing games again because they know that they are in deep trouble after the massive crime and standard inflation. ”
Along with electing a new governor and a slate of local leaders, November 8 will see US Senate elections in 35 states, including Pennsylvania.
Doug Mastiano is predicted to defeat Trump’s nominee for the state’s government, while surgeon “Mohamed Oz,” who is running for the Senate in Pennsylvania, is in a close race with Democrat John Vitman.
Trump questions the validity of the results due to “forged elections”
