Falsely declares victory at 2:30 AM and demands voting stop

In a speech from the East Room at 2:30 AM, Trump falsely claimed he had already won the election ("Frankly, we did win this election") despite millions of votes remaining uncounted. He called the election a "fraud on the American public" and threatened to go to the Supreme Court to stop "all voting," conflating vote-casting with the standard process of vote-counting.
