'This election is not over': Trump campaign rebuffs projecting Biden victory

President Trump's campaign rejected claims that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has secured Pennsylvania and the requisite 270 electoral votes needed to win the race to the White House.

"This election is not over," Trump campaign general counsel Matt Morgan said in a Friday statement. "The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final."

After Biden took the lead in Pennsylvania by a slim 5,500-vote margin, Decision Desk HQ, a nonpartisan election analysis firm, projected that the Democrat would take the state and pass the 270 Electoral College vote threshold necessary to win the election. Major news outlets, including the Associated Press, have not yet made such a call.

"There were many irregularities in Pennsylvania, including having election officials prevent our volunteer legal observers from having meaningful access to vote counting locations," Morgan continued. "We prevailed in court on our challenge, but were deprived of valuable time and denied the transparency we are entitled to under state law."
