'The truth will prevail': Trump supporters refuse to accept election results

Chanting "this isn't over" and "stop the steal", supporters of Donald Trump protested at state capitols across the country on Saturday, refusing to accept defeat and echoing Mr Trump's unsubstantiated allegations that the Democrats won by fraud.

From Atlanta and Tallahassee to Austin, Bismarck, Boise and Phoenix, crowds ranging in size from a few dozen to a few thousand - some of them openly carrying guns - decried the news of Joe Biden's victory after more than three days of vote-counting put the Democrat over the top.

For his part, current president Donald Trump remained defiant on social media.

Twitter flagged his post, saying the claim about election fraud was disputed.

"The observers were not allowed into the counting rooms," Mr Trump complained.

"I won the election, got 71,000 legal votes.

"Bad things happened which our advisers were not allowed to see. Never happened before. Millions of mail-in ballots were sent to people who never asked for them."
