The claim is denied by the police in Philadelphia.
Pennsylvania has been singled out as one of the most important swing states in the US election. Already last week, Donald Trump hinted that there was electoral fraud in electoral districts in the state, and in a post on his platform Truth Social, he makes new accusations against the vote.
“Lots of talk about massive CHEATING in Philadelphia. The police are on their way!!!”, he writes.
The police: Not aware of election fraud
The former president has repeatedly claimed during his election campaign that the Democrats are trying to “steal the election”.
Philadelphia police are denying reports of voter fraud tonight, telling CNN they have not encountered any problems with voting in the city that require police action.
Growing concern about election fraud
Allegations of voter fraud have been denied by both Republican and Democratic Pennsylvania election officials.
Concerns about election fraud have increased in the United States. According to one investigation six out of ten Americans worry that the vote count will not go right – and among Republicans the figure was 90 percent.
