"The observers were not allowed into the counting rooms. I won the election....Bad things happened which our observers were not allowed to see," Trump tweeted in all caps.He also alleged that millions of mail-in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them. However, this tweet was flagged by Twitter for being a disputed claim about alleged election fraud."Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room – and then fight in court to block their access," Trump's statement continued."So what is Biden hiding? I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.”None of the outgoing president's claims have been substantiated.A drawn-out legal fight by Trump that triggers recounts of ballots in several US states could hold up many vital transition-related activities, as happened in 2000 when George W. Bush wasn't declared the victor until five weeks after the election.Biden was named President-elect on Sunday after the states of Pennsylvania and Nevada were called in his favor, taking him past the 270 electoral votes needed to oust Trump from the White House. Reuters contributed to this report.THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
