Trump claims voter fraud in Philadelphia — police deny

US presidential candidate Donald Trump has claimed "massive fraud" in the state of Philadelphia, referring to election fraud. The police rejected his statement, saying that they were not aware of any problems with voting that would require a response from law enforcement.
This was reported by CNN.
What Trump said
"Lots of talk about massive fraud in Philadelphia," Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social.
The publication notes that the Republican has been making unfounded claims about fraudulent elections in Philadelphia for years. He repeated such statements in September this fall, saying at a rally in Pennsylvania that "they are cheating in this state, especially in Philadelphia."
Philadelphia's Republican city commissioner, Seth Bluestein, said on social media site X that Trump's accusations were "absolutely untrue." He called his statement "disinformation" and added that "voting in Philadelphia was safe and secure."
District Attorney Larry Krasner also dismissed the lawsuit against Trump.
"The only talk of massive fraud came from one of the candidates, Donald Trump. There is no factual basis in law enforcement to support these wild allegations. We have been taking complaints and allegations of violations all day long. If Donald Trump has any facts to back up his wild allegations, we want them now. Right now. We will not wait," he wrote.
The publication added that the election service of the district prosecutor received about 55 voter complaints. The vast majority of them concerned election campaigning.
It should be noted that in some states, polling stations have already closed and vote counting has begun. The voting is still ongoing as Tuesday, November 5, is still Tuesday in the United States.
CNN predicts that Donald Trump will win in Kentucky and Kamala Harris will win in Vermont.
Also polling stations in America look different from those in Ukraine. Novyny.LIVE exclusively showed what the difference is.
