The results of the 2020 election are still slowly coming in, but since President Trump is trailing former Vice President and Democratic challenger Joe Biden in electoral votes, protests have popped up in key battleground states, with people claiming there are fraudulent votes.

Cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Phoenix and Las Vegas have all seen pro-Trump protesters arrive outside of ballot centers, demanding that counting of votes be stopped (or in Arizona’s case, the vote to keep on going.)
