JAKARTA - Donald Trump's campaign team lost their demands of vote counting in Georgia and Michigan. They don't stop there. Most recently, Trump's team vowed to file lawsuits against the vote in Nevada.

Trump's team has alleged irregularities in voting in the Clark area, the most populous region in Nevada, which also includes the city of Las Vegas.

Currently, ballots are still being counted in the three states --Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan - which are crucial regions in the US election.

Trump's rival Joe Biden has a narrow lead in the vote in Nevada. Meanwhile, Trump was narrowly ahead in Georgia. In Michigan, Biden had been projected to win.

The reason for the lawsuit

At a press conference in Las Vegas, former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, as well as several other Trump representatives, including former administration official in the region, Richard Grenell made allegations without including supporting evidence, nor did they answer questions from reporters.

"We believe that voters who have died have also been counted. We also believe that there are thousands of people whose votes were counted even though they had moved from the Clark area during the pandemic," said Laxalt.

He added that a lawsuit will be filed in federal court to ask the judge to "stop counting on the votes that were not eligible."

The Clark area election executive officer, Joe Gloria, said there was no evidence of allegations that ballots were not eligible to count.

Georgia and Michigan Lawsuit Denied

Earlier on the same day, court judges in Georgia and Michigan rejected Trump's campaign team's demands for vote counting in both states.

In the Georgia case, Trump's team alleges that 53 late-arriving ballots were mixed with valid ballots that were received on time.

Meanwhile, in Michigan they asked for an end to vote counting and asked for wider access to the vote tabulation process.

The High Court Judge in Georgia, James Bass, said there was "no evidence" that the ballots referred to in the allegations were invalid.

Meanwhile Judge Cynthia Stephens of Michigan said, "I have no basis for finding any substantial possibility of agreeing to this case."
