The Democratic nominee said this after it was reported that Trump told associates he intends to declare victory early if the results show him ahead, even if the outcome isn’t known. On Monday, Trump lost a bid to block some ballots from being counted in swing-state Nevada, and his supporters lost a federal court effort to nullify drive-through votes in Texas, now considered a toss up state.

The 2020 Election Vocabulary You Need to Know

A close election could introduce a slew of new voting terms to Americans trying to figure out whether Biden or Trump won.
