Capital District Times

The March for Trump rally in Washington, D.C. was an opportunity for Dan Hauer to express his disapproval of the mainstream media.

“I came here to show that the media is lying about Trump's popularity,” Hauer told Capital District Times. “They want to pretend that Biden is more popular but I think we can pretty much show right now how popular Trump is.”

Hauer, from Binghamton, was among thousands who attended the Nov. 14 gathering in response to the Associated Press naming Joe Biden the president-elect. Biden won a projected 306 electoral votes compared to President Trump’s 232. 

“I'm standing up for our rights and the integrity of the election and I support President Donald Trump 125%,” said Derrick Gibson, a Rego Park-based gubernatorial candidate aiming to unseat Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2022. “I know the election is being stolen from President Trump. So, I came to show my support.”

Trump supporters at the rally walked from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court building across from the Capitol as President Trump rode by the crowd in a motorcade.

“Our voices are unified to support Trump and hopefully the Supreme Court will do the right thing when they look at what happened during this election,” Gibson told the Capital District Times.

At this time, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania has a case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. ABC News reports that the justices have not taken action on the case as of yesterday.

In the state of New York, the Associated Press reported that Biden won with 56.2% of the vote over President Donald Trump’s 42.5%. 

To date, bipartisan election officials across the country have reported no significant voter fraud, the New York Times reports. President Trump wired $3 million to Wisconsin election officials on Nov. 17, requesting a recount of votes that were cast in Milwaukee and Dane counties. According to media reports, Trump's campaign is alleging that some absentee ballots were illegally cast for various reasons. The recount is expected to be completed by Dec. 1.

The Associated Press reported that a second Georgia county has uncovered a batch of ballots that were not counted, however "the additional votes won’t change the overall outcome of the presidential race," according the Georgia Secretary of State.
