Pro-Trump protesters then marched toward the Capitol and some entered, creating a scene of violent clashes with law enforcement and lawmakers nestled in the lockout.
Trump has been telling incredibly false stories about the outcome of the election for more than two months in a frantic effort to overturn Biden’s victory, but he hasn’t subsidized now, at a calculating moment that will surely seal his defeat despite the chaos and steps. taken by some of its allies in Congress to extend the certification of the results of the Electoral College.
He also presented un baseless theories about Tuesday’s two Senate elections in Georgia, where Democrats won seats and regained the chamber.
A pattern of Trump’s claims at his rally in Washington and on Twitter.
TRUMP ON VICE PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE

TRUMP: Pence “must agree to fire him. ” – Rally.
TRUMP: “All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the United States, and we WIN. Do it Mike, it’s a time of excessive value!” – tweet wednesday.
THE FACTS: It’s a fantasy. Vice President Mike Pence has no authority under the Constitution, Congressional rules, law, or tradition to return effects to states. You have no right to do what Trump calls “the right thing to do. “
Pence presides over the vote count of the Electoral Congress and will fulfill his ceremonial duty to announce who won the most votes for the president and vice president. Whatever words of sympathy he may be offering for Trump’s grievances, Pence has no way biden’s certification as the next president and Kamala Harris as vice president.
Nor is he expected to try, despite Trump’s pressure to do so, according to others close to him.
Biden won 306 electoral votes against Trump’s 232, and wants 270 to win the presidency.

ARE THEY FACTS?
TRUMP, about the states: “What to recertify. ” – Rally.
TRUMP: “States must redo their votes. They found out they had voted for a FRAUDE. The legislatures never approved. Let them do it, BE STRONG!””He tweeted on Wednesday. “
FACTS: That’s wrong too. All states have called its effects fair and accurate, a ruling through Republican and Democratic officials. There are no prospects for redesign. Nor a sudden revelation of fraud.
State and federal election officials and Trump’s own attorney general said no systematic election fraud or mistakes of magnitude were discovered that could eventually replace the outcome. He had two demanding Supreme Court situations, including three judges appointed through Trump.

Pennsylvania
TRUMP, on Pennsylvania results: “You got 205,000 more votes than the voters. “
FACTS: It’s not true. Here, Trump must give weight to an unfounded conspiracy theory of social media and unreliable websites.
The statement that Pennsylvania’s certification of Biden’s victory in the state is fraudulent comes from a time when the records were inconsistent. Figures graded across Pennsylvania counties showed that 6. 9 million votes were cast, while another state knowledge formula showed that 6. 7 million voters attended the polls. The explanation is simple: election officials had not yet finished downloading their knowledge in the latest formula.
Wanda Murren, communications director at the Pennsylvania State Department, who is guilty of the election, said other people were selling “obvious misinformation” about it. Trump is among them.

Michigan
TRUMP: “In Detroit, the turnout of 139% of registered voters. “- Rally.

Georgia
TRUMP, Georgia: “Election officials pulled boxes, Democrats and suitcases of ballots under a table and scanned them illegally for about two hours, without any oversight.
FACTS: That’s true. The surveillance video at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena shows election staff processing ballots normally, according to election officials in Georgia and Fulton County.
State law requires independent observers to monitor this process, however, an independent comptroller and an investigator have arrived to oversee the count.
The full video shows that election officials in the past opened ballots in front of election observers and the media. The staff then put them back in rolling boxes because they thought it was over at night. However, election officials asked them to do so. they keep counting, so they got rid of the boxes to finish.

GEORGIA SENATE RACE
TRUMP, referring to Georgia: “Last night they discovered 50,000 ballots overdue. ” — tweet Wednesday.
TRUMP: “Looks like they’re making a big ‘electoral dump’ opposite the Republican candidates. Waiting to see how many votes they need?” He tweeted Tuesday night.
THE FACTS: No, Georgia election officials not only “found” 50,000 ballots or manipulated an “electoral dump” to disadvantage Republicans.
It is not unusual for giant batches of effects to be published on election night and the next morning, with the clues becoming the result.
On Tuesday, for example, Floyd County, Georgia, a Republican strong base, unveiled all its effects at once, giving a big boost to Republican candidates Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue. These effects were later countered when densely populated counties, which favor Democratic candidates, unveiled their figures.
Loeffler lost to Democrat Raphael Warnock, and Democrat Jon Ossoff overthrew Republican David Perdue.
