United States President Donald Trump stated that counting late votes resulted in those being cast for his Democratic rival Joe Biden surging from "all over the place"

"They are finding Biden votes all over the place — in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. So bad for our Country!" he tweeted. "They are working hard to make up 500,000 vote advantage in Pennsylvania disappear — ASAP. Likewise, Michigan and others!"

The president previously claimed his advantage in many battleground states started to "magically" fade "as surprise ballot dumps were counted." His campaign added he would win if "all the legal votes" are counted. Later, it was reported Trump's team was preparing to legally contest the results in the states that are yet to reveal their figures.
