Trump claimed that after people were not allowed to observe vote counting on election night, his lead in Pennsylvania and other numerous states disappeared.

The president alleged that tractors were used to block doors while windows were covered with thick cardboards so that people could not see into the counting rooms to observe what he described as the bad things that took place there.

However, Trump has failed to provide any evidence to back his claims of voter fraud in the US election.

Twitter also flagged the president's tweets, warning that the statements might contain misleading information about the election.
