Trump campaign starts 'voter fraud' hotline; Americans bombard with prank calls

While Donald Trump has been working on a hotline to help with alleged voter fraud, several internet users are trolling the Republican incumbent by bombarding his campaign with prank calls. Ever before the ballot counting began, Trump has been making false claims that the election is being rigged and stolen for him. He has even lambasted election workers and accused them of suppression of voters. 

The Republican campaign then set up a voter fraud hotline for people to report any shady goings-on they noticed at their voting stations. “Help stop voter suppression, irregularity and fraud,” read a post on Twitter promoting the hotline from Trump’s supporters, including Trump’s son Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani.

Trump plans rallies to protest election result 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump is showing reluctance in conceding and has even planned campaign-style rallies to contest the result of the election. Trump and his Republican allies have refused to acknowledge Biden’s victory. While Trump gave no sign of conceding, his campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh, on November 8, said that the 45th president will hold a series of rallies to build support for the legal fights challenging the outcome. 

Trump has announced teams to pursue recounts in several states and he will also seek to back up his unfounded accusations of voting fraud by highlighting obituaries of dead people that the campaign said voted in the election. Murtaugh did not inform when the rallies would resume, however, he did assure that the Republican leader will legally challenge the outcome. Donald Jr and Eric have also been urging the allies to continue supporting Donald’s rejection to the results along with major American media outlets who projected Biden as the winner on November 7.
