WASHINGTON, DC — US President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival Joe Biden made a last-ditch push for votes in battleground states on the last day of campaigning yesterday, as each party prepared for post-election disputes that could prolong a divisive presidential election. Trump was trailing in national opinion polls and yesterday continued to lob unfounded attacks at mail-in ballots, suggesting he would deploy lawyers if states were still counting the votes after Election Day on Tuesday (today NZ FREE MAGA HATS: US President Donald Trump throws MAGA hats to his supporters as he arrives to speak during a campaign time). rally at Wilkes-Barre Scranton International Airport on Monday (local time). AP pictures Trump told reporters that Pennsylvania’s plans to count mail ballots that arrived up to three days after Election Day would lead to widespread cheating, although he did not explain how. He urged the US Supreme Court to reconsider its decision that left the extension in place. The court has left that possibility open. “Bad things will happen and bad things lead to other types of things,” Trump told reporters in Wisconsin — another battleground state. On Twitter, Trump said the court decision would “induce violence in the streets”. The social media platform flagged his message, adding a disclaimer to the tweet that its content was “disputed” and “might be misleading”. It is not unusual for US states to take several days — or even weeks — to count their votes, and a record surge in mail ballots could draw out the process even further this year. “Under no scenario will Donald Trump be declared a victor on election night,” Biden CELEBRITY ENDORSEMENT: Left, Lady Gaga performs during a drive- campaign manager Jennifer O’Malley Dillon in rally for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden at Heinz Field, on told reporters.

Both sides have amassed armies of lawyers who are prepared to take on any post-election battles. On Monday, a federal judge in Texas rejected a Republican bid to throw out about 127,000 votes already cast at drive-through voting sites in the Democratic-leaning Houston area. In Pittsburgh, Biden told supporters the country’s future rested in their hands. “It’s time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home,” he said. Trump, 74, is seeking to avoid becoming the first incumbent president to lose re-election since fellow Republican George H.W. Bush in 1992. Despite Biden’s overall national polling lead, the race in swing states was being seen as close enough that Trump could still piece together the 270 votes needed to prevail in the state-by-state Electoral College system that determines the winner. Trump spent the final days of the campaign predicting victory and deriding Biden for backing restrictions that aim to slow the spread of the coronavirus. “A vote for Biden is a vote for lockdown, misery and layoffs,” he told the crowd in Scranton, Pennsylvania. At a Miami rally, former US Democratic President Barack Obama, whom Biden served as vice president for eight years, said Trump’s VOTERS TURN OUT TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD: Right, push to stop counting votes on election night Erin Doherty hugs her mother Susanna Dew, 61, as they wait in line was undemocratic. “That’s what a two-bit at a polling place on Election Day New Orleans, on Tuesday (local dictator does,” Obama told a rally in Miami. time).
