Trump: Supreme Court 'hurting our country' by rulings in election-related cases
Speaking at the first of five rallies in his final full day of campaigning, Trump railed against the Supreme Court for recent rulings not blocking Pennsylvania and North Carolina from accepting absentee ballots postmarked by Tuesday for several days after Nov. 3 -- stopping, at least for the moment, GOP efforts to stop counting ballots on election night.
"What a horrible thing they've done. You know that puts our country in danger. Do you know what can happen? Cheating can happen like you've never seen. This is their dream," Trump said, without any evidence.
He went on to warn of voter fraud if states can continue counting mail-in ballots in the days after the election, demanding results be tabulated on election night -- though votes are always certified in the following days and sometimes weeks.
“What can happen during that long period of time is a disgrace,” Trump said. "Our Supreme Court, I'm just so tired of some of these horrible political decisions that are being made. It's a shame. You know, I won't get into it too much. I'm going to start getting into it because they're hurting our country very bad."
Although Trump has projected confidence in winning the election, he also said "if" we win Pennsylvania when speaking to the North Carolina crowd, in perhaps a show of uncertainty in that critical battleground.
"I think if we win this state, we win Pennsylvania -- we’re going to win Florida. We win Pennsylvania and you, we’re going to win the whole thing," Trump told the massive, mostly maskless, crowd.
