'In the US, we count ballots'

A US Electoral Commission chief issued a sharp rebuke against Donald Trump on Wednesday after the president called for mail ballots to be dumped, as he refused to say whether he would leave office in the event of an election defeat to Democrat rival Joe Biden.

Ellen Weintraub, Federal Commission Commissioner (FEC), warned the president that America does not simply "get rid" of ballots. “In case anyone is unclear on the concept, in the United States of America, we do not ‘get rid of’ ballots. We count them,” she said in a statement on Twitter.

“Counting the ballots – *all* the ballots – is the way we determine who leads our country after our elections. The only way,” she added. Ms Weintraub, a former FEC chair, has previously warned that Americans may have to wait beyond election night to find out who their next president is, as millions vote by post amid the coronavirus pandemic.

At a White House press briefing earlier on Wednesday, Mr Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transfer of power should he fail to win reelection. "Well, we're going to have to see what happens," the president told reporters.
