WASHINGTON (AP) – President Donald Trump says he’ll take the presidential election to the Supreme Court, but it’s unclear what he means in a country in which vote tabulations routinely continue beyond Election Day, and states largely set the rules for when the count has to end.

Trump says “we want all voting to stop,” but the voting is over.

It’s only counting that is taking place across the nation.

No state will count absentee votes that are postmarked after Election Day.

Democratic challenger, Joe Biden’s campaign called Trump’s statement “outrageous, unprecedented, and incorrect.”
