''STOP THE COUNT!''

Donald Trump has again called for the counting of votes in the US Presidential election to stop.

Trump's campaign is expected to speak later this afternoon, with the race itself still too close to call.

Since the vote tallying began, he has made various claims about voter fraud and postal ballots.


His opponent, Joe Biden, has a small lead in some of the key states critical in deciding the winner.

American lawyer Carlos Moore isn't sure what Mr Trump is trying to achieve:

''There's really no point, it's just smoke and mirrors. He's trying to insight his base and just trying to discredit the safe and secure election that has been above board''.

At the time of writing Joe Biden has 253 electoral college votes, while President Trump has 213, a total of 270 for either candidate would secure victory.
