OSCE: Donald Trump's allegations of election fraud undermine public confidence in democratic institutions

Such a statement of an outgoing president weakens public confidence in state institutions, - reports the statement of OSCE representative Michael George Link.

The mission's preliminary report stressed that Donald Trump's campaign and election night statements were "increasing the capacity for politically motivated violence after several elections".

"Such statements by the incumbent president undermine public confidence in state institutions", -reads the report.

The mission also emphasizes the need to count all votes.

For reference, the OSCE has sent 102 observers from 39 countries to observe the US elections.
