"Each ballot must be counted.” Democracy can be “messy,” Biden said.
"I ask everyone to stay calm. … The process is working. The count is being completed, and we’ll know very soon,” Biden said in a brief statement.

Without evidence, President Trump falsely attacks voting integrity and alleges election interference as he trails Biden in electoral votes usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
President Donald Trump appeared to shrug off his Democratic challenger Joe Biden's growing lead in the presidential election and made baseless claims that the election was driven by fraud and corruption.
"If you count the legal votes I easily win. If you count the illegal votes they can try to steal the election from us," Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room, repeating a statement his campaign sent out earlier Thursday on his behalf.
More than a dozen demonstrations were planned Thursday in cities across the U.S. for a third day as a handful of battleground states that were expected to determine the outcome of the 2020 presidential election continued to count ballots. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
