Obama signed the order for full recount of all votes cast in the election and calls for a special election to be held on December 19th in response to the concerns of thousands of voters across the country who said that they were prevented from casting a ballot on election day,
too many absentee ballots have not been found or counted, equipment failures, as well as concerns that some members of the electoral college may have acted unethically.
“People all over the country have been flooding my office with calls, telling my staff of horror stories about being harassed and intimidated by poll workers,” Obama told reporters.
Many have even said that they were flat out denied entry into the voting booths to cast their ballots if they were wearing a Hillary Clinton shirt or other signs showing support for her as President.
This was especially bad in areas of Florida and North Carolina where there are high numbers of Latino and African American voters. We must investigate these claims. The margin of victory is too close to call, and the outcome of this election is too important. There is just too many legal challenges in too many states to just call this a victory for Trump.”
Meanwhile, there is a strong case for the beginning of legal proceedings that would stop Donald Trump from being president, says law professor Christopher Peterson.
A paper from Professor Peterson says that there is ample evidence to charge the new President-elect with crimes that would see him potentially being removed from office.
Professor Peterson’s analysis was written in September, before Mr Trump became president. But the argument makes it applies after the election, too.
The paper revolves primarily around Trump University, the school that the President-elect set up and then closed down in 2010. It faces numerous lawsuits – one of which will see Mr Trump take the witness stand in coming weeks – and argues that Mr Trump’s behaviour laid out in those lawsuits could be grounds for lawmakers to impeach their new President.
At the very least, the problems will cast a shadow over Mr Trump’s status as President-elect and then as President, Professor Peterson says
As of now, more than 4 Millions Americans have signed a petition to stop Donald Trump from becoming US president.
Meanwhile a strong protest going on in America, protesters heard in the video chanting He is not my president.
