Former CIA Director: Trump Likely to Put Up Challenges to Election Result - FarsNews Agency

 Former CIA Director John Brennan said that US President Donald Trump is likely to “put up challenges” to the results of the presidential election on Tuesday.

In an interview with CNN, Brennen said Trump has made indications that he is not prepared to accept the election outcome that has Democratic candidate “Joe Biden as the victor”.

Brennen said this is unprecedented as former US presidents had never refused to accept “free and fair election” results.

A winner in the November 3 election might not be declared on Tuesday night because of the volume of ballots cast by mail as election officials, who have already received a large influx of mail-in ballots over concerns about the coronavirus pandemic, warned that it may take extra days or weeks to tally them.

Pre-election voting has surpassed two-thirds of all ballots cast during the 2016 presidential election. Nearly 92 million Americans have voted, as a majority of states are reporting record early voting turnout in the 2020 election.

These votes represent about 43% of registered voters across the US, according to a survey of election officials in all 50 states and Washington, DC.
