[Asia Economy Reporter Jeong Hyunjin] On the third day of vote counting in the U.S. presidential election, President Donald Trump once again claimed "election fraud" on the 5th (local time) and expressed his intention to contest the results until all lawsuits are resolved. Following a series of lawsuits in key battleground states, he mentioned that the election could ultimately be decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. This is expected to earn the election the stigma of the worst legal battle in history.

According to AP News and others, President Trump held a press conference at the White House in the afternoon and said, "The election is being rigged," emphasizing that his goal is to protect the integrity of the vote. He stated, "If only legal votes are counted, I easily win. I believe I have won easily based on legal standards," and stressed, "Corruption is occurring during the voting and counting process."

Trump's remarks came at a time when early vote counting, which started late after in-person voting, showed Democratic candidate Joe Biden making a last-minute comeback. He pointed out that Republican observers have been unable to participate in the receipt or counting of mail-in ballots after Election Day, highlighting that this situation is illegal. He has maintained claims of a "fraudulent election" since immediately after the election.

President Trump said, "I hope all these situations are clearly clarified," and added, "In the end, I believe federal Supreme Court justices will make the decision." This indicates his intention to have the final judgment of this election made by the Supreme Court, which is overwhelmingly conservative.

The Trump campaign's legal battles have already begun. In key battleground states Michigan and Georgia, lawsuits filed by the Trump camp raising issues with the counting process were dismissed in the first trial on the same day. In Pennsylvania, the Trump camp's request for greater access to the counting process was accepted, and the appellate court ordered the state election authorities to comply. Additional lawsuits are planned in Nevada and Pennsylvania, and a recount is being requested in Wisconsin, gradually increasing the number of regions engaged in legal disputes.
