Trump's fraud claims one more step to defame democracy:Obama

Former US president Barack Obama has said that President Donald Trump's unsubstantiated claims of election fraud is one more step in delegitimising democracy generally,.in an interview to CNN Obama said, "I'm more troubled by the fact that other Republican officials who clearly know better are going along with this, are humouring him in this fashion." Obama was responding to Trump's allegations of massive voters fraud and electoral malpractice in key battleground states. The mainstream American media and state officials have said that they have not found any evidence of it.

"They (allegations) appear to be motivated, in part, because the president doesn't like to lose and never admits loss,  And that's a dangerous path  " Obama said. Democrat  Joe Biden has won 290 electoral votes, 20 more than the required 270 in the election while his Republican rival received 217 votes from the 538-member Electoral College.
