Backers of President Donald Trump, some carrying guns, ramped up demonstrations on Thursday night against what he has baselessly called a rigged election, in battleground states where votes were still being counted.
The demonstrations were largely peaceful, although Trump supporters occasionally shouted with counterprotesters. Trump says the election is being stolen but there has been no evidence of fraud.
In Arizona, one of the closely contested states in the too-close-to-call race between Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden, Trump and Biden supporters briefly scuffled outside the Maricopa County Elections Department in Phoenix.
Several heavily armed right-wing groups assembled on the site as election workers counted votes inside, but the protests remained mostly peaceful despite mounting tension.
Local election officials continued to tabulate ballots across the country, in some cases processing an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots that accumulated as a preferred voting option during the coronavirus pandemic.
In Philadelphia, police said they arrested one man and seized a weapon as part of an investigation into a purported plot to attack the city's Pennsylvania Convention Center, where votes were being counted.
But otherwise the scene in Philadelphia was less confrontational - festive, even - where pro-Trump and pro-Biden demonstrators were separated by waist-high portable barriers under a strong police presence.
With the future of the presidency in the balance, restive encounters also unfolded in New York and Washington as well as swing-state cities such as Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Las Vegas, Nevada; Detroit, Michigan; and Atlanta, Georgia.
On the internet, Facebook removed a fast-growing group in which Trump supporters posted violent rhetoric, as it and other social media companies tackled baseless claims and potential violence.
Trump supporters took their queue from the president, who has repeatedly and falsely claimed that mail-in votes are especially prone to fraud......

The votes are counted. What good will it do now?
So says “Mimi” Who is only seven years out of brown university
How about that not even 30 years old yet and another Ivy Leaguer masquerading as a “journalist “
By the way she’s bounced all over the place in her short “career” (pissant prior jobs) and now calls her self after six months at Reuters an “immigration reporter “
They were carrying guns!!! OMG!!!
Supreme Court must throw out ALL mail in ballots and only count in-person voting and verifiable absentee ballots.
Absentee ballots = real person requested and received.
Mail-in Ballots = Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse on the voter rolls get a ballot which the local BLM fill out and mail in.
Mail-in ballots are a violation of the constitution. Mail in ballots are equivalent to a “twitter survey”. A mail-in ballot is a ‘ballot’, not a ‘vote’.
Votes are in person verifiable ID and absentee verifiable request with ID – A constitutionally protected VOTE. Everything else is unprotected BS and SC must throw them out in EVERY state. Most expeditiously, in the swing states.
BASELESSLY? TAKE DOWN THESE COMMIE NEWS ORGANIZATIONS!!!
They think they run the country. They need to face severe consequences for their lies upon lies upon lies. Propaganda, brainwashing. It makes me sick!
Pro-Trump supports at Phoenix polling station - Nov 5 2020.

Deguello....no retreat, no surrender, no quarter.
