Joe Biden has taken the lead in the official vote count in Pennsylvania and Georgia, but the Trump campaign insisted Friday morning it's too early to call a winner.
"This election is not over," said Trump campaign general counsel Matt Morgan in a statement. "The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final."
Biden also is leading in Nevada and Arizona, while Trump is still ahead in North Carolina. If the Democratic nominee were to prevail in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona, he would match Trump's electoral vote total of 306 in 2016.
But the Trump campaign said Biden "is relying on these states for his phony claim on the White House, but once the election is final, President Trump will be reelected."
The campaign presented an overview of the states it is still contesting.
Georgia is "headed for a recount, where we are confident we will find ballots improperly harvested, and where President Trump will ultimately prevail."
In Pennsylvania, "there were many irregularities," including "having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations."
The campaign noted it won a court challenge Thursday to obtain "meaningful" access to monitoring, but said it was "deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law."
In Nevada, "there appear to be thousands of individuals who improperly cast mail ballots."
And in Arizona, the campaign said Trump "is on course to win Arizona outright, despite the irresponsible and erroneous 'calling' of the state for Biden by Fox News and the Associated Press."
WND reported Thursday polling guru and FiveThirtyEight founder Nate Silver believes the determinations by Fox News and the Associated Press that Biden won the state of Arizona should be retracted.
