Election officials push back on Trump claims of irregularities
Philadelphia city commissioner Seth Bluestein, a Republican, rebuked former President Donald Trump's claim earlier Tuesday that "cheating" took place in the city, emphasizing that the city worked closely with the Republican National Committee "in real time" to field complaints and that "there is no evidence whatsoever of massive cheating."
"If anybody has evidence of widespread cheating, please send it in, because we'd like to see it, and I guarantee you there won't be any," Bluestein said.
"Just think about everyone who stood up for democracy today," commission chair Omar Sabir, a Democrat, said -- his voice choked with emotion -- as he thanked election workers.
In Detroit, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson called out Trump for sowing "seeds of doubt" about the election.
"If there are either candidates or other bad actors, or even foreign bad actors who try to continue to inject confusion or fear or sow seeds of doubt about the sanctity of their elections in the hours and days ahead, we'll be there to speak the truth and ensure people know what is actually happening," Benson said during a press conference at Detroit's Ford Field.
