2020 ELECTION/CAMPAIGN: “In a campaign call Thursday, Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller was asked what Trump meant when he repeatedly tweeted demands to ‘stop’ the counting of ballots.
Miller said the president is saying states and localities should not be counting ballots that were mailed in or ‘magically appeared in a stack of ballots’ after Election Day.
If the ballots were legally cast and meet signature matching and other requirements, then they should be counted, Miller said.
‘To be very clear here, we should not be counting ballots that clearly came in after the election as being completely legitimate until we’ve had time to go through and do the challenges and to be on top of this,’ Miller said. ‘So the president’s right, we should not be counting illegal ballots, and we hold fast to that opinion.’
