‘Count every vote' campaign kicks off in Pennsylvania
A campaign calling for a full count of the votes has kicked off in the key US state of Pennsylvania, which President Donald Trump is suing over what his campaign claims is election fraud.
The initiative involves more than 100 billboards set up by the anti-Trump GOP group Republicans for the Rule of Law.
Trump looks set for taking legal action against the Keystone State as well as Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Nevada, demanding recounts of the votes in the 2020 presidential election.
“This stands to serve as an important reminder at a time when Pennsylvania's vote may be the key to deciding the presidential race, and the count has been slowed by an unprecedented amount of mail-in ballots and the president's calling for a stop to the count,” the organization said in a Wednesday statement.
The Trump campaign is suggesting that the election is being stolen in favor of Democratic nominee Joe Biden and so voting should be stopped.
“It goes against the most basic principles of our democracy. It takes away the right of every American citizen to cast their vote, and to choose our leaders,” Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf said during a press conference Wednesday evening. “Our election officials at the state and local level should be free to do their jobs without fear, without intimidation, without attacks. These attempts to subvert the democratic process are simply disgraceful.”
“We will continue to administer free and fair elections in Pennsylvania. Let me be clear, in Pennsylvania every vote is going to count. I'm going to fight like hell to protect the vote of every Pennsylvania. ... Because in Pennsylvania, every voice matters, every vote matters.”
