The elections are a choice between freedom, God and socialism, according to a Texas resident who flew to Washington, D.C. last weekend to attend the March for Trump rally.
“Biden and Harris don’t know what they are doing, but they'll wreck it so bad that you can never get it back,” Daniel Shea told the Houston Republic.
Shea is among thousands who marched from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court building across from the Capitol to challenge the results of Election Day in support of President Trump, who won the state of Texas with 52.1% of votes compared to 46.5% for challenger Joe Biden.
However, the former vice president has been declared winner of the election after earning a projected 306 electoral votes compared to President Trump’s 232. Kamala Harris, Biden's running mate, was named vice president-elect.
“I think cheating in elections has been happening but it's really bad this time,” Shea said in an interview. “If you allow it, your freedom is gone. You're not a fair country.”
The rally was part of a grassroots effort planned by various pro-Trump groups around the country to show a united front, to demand election transparency and protect election integrity. Trump supporters traveled by car, plane and train from as far away as California, South Dakota, Georgia, Florida and Oregon to participate.
“I feel strongly for my kids and my grandkids,” Shea said at the rally when asked why he'd traveled so far to attend.
The election has led to multiple lawsuits, including one in Pennsylvania over ballot observers that was rejected by the state's Supreme Court yesterday, according to NBC News.
Another lawsuit, which the Philadelphia Inquirer reports is still pending in Pennsylvania court, is trying to block the certification of results that include absentee and mail-in ballots.
President Trump tweeted on Nov. 15 that he would be filing a big lawsuit soon: “Many of the court cases being filed all over the Country are not ours, but rather those of people that have seen horrible abuses. Our big cases showing the unconstitutionality of the 2020 Election, & the outrage of things that were done to change the outcome, will soon be filed!”
Bipartisan election officials across the country report no significant levels of voter fraud.
Voter groups, represented by election lawyer James Bopp Jr., voluntarily dismissed without prejudice four lawsuits that had been filed in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia, as previously reported by CBS News.
