No candidate decides themselves, to be declared the winner....on election night. Media makes the call, when there are enough votes in hand, that can overcome any remaining votes to be counted.... not a minute before.OH my bloody gawd--------candidates like Trump also declare victory on election night. You nuts are attacking trump for what he may or may not do just like every other presidential candidate. You guys need to grow the hell up and get some damn morals.ONLY declared by the media if the remaining votes to be counted can not overcome the votes in hand's results.My gawd what a jump--------If Trump declares victory when he is shown to be ahead on election night, you think this is somehow disenfranchising voters? Say what? Elections are declared every year without all the votes counted dear--------President Trump has told confidants he'll declare victory on Tuesday night if it looks like he's "ahead," according to three sources familiar with his private comments. That's even if the Electoral College outcome still hinges on large numbers of uncounted votes in key states like Pennsylvania.

Trump plans to declare premature victory if he appears "ahead" on election night
This is the first account of Trump explicitly discussing his own intentions.www.axios.com
Trump has now denied he will do this, but if we know one thing about Trump, his word his crap. He can change his mind on a whim.
So, if Trump declares victory prematurely and attempts to disenfranchise millions of voters, how many of you will believe him. How many of you will take to the streets or go on forums like this and rage about stolen elections when Biden takes the lead after Trump declares victory.
I find it incredulous that anyone would still believe any words or statements that come out of Trump’s mouth, but I also realize there are thinking adults out there who believe Trump no matter how inane or prevaricating his words are.
And nothing declared on election night by the news or candidate is valid....the states by law have to count all of their votes before they are certified, and count.
December 14th is the absolute cut off to count and certify State votes/electoral college... I believe? Maybe it is the 7th, but the 14th is the day the electoral college votes?
And that electoral college vote is not certified until January 6th, if no congress critter objects in writing.... if they do object...not certain what happens?
(Jan 3rd, a new Congress is sworn in....
Those who won in previous Nov election....)
The candidate does not make some whimsical declaration, on their own.....
I don't know if Trump plans to do what the article claims.... hopefully Trump won't jump the gun.
