Safety and prosperity are at stake in the presidential election, according to Kyle Vermeulen.

“I’m here to support Trump,” he told the Montgomery News. “We were uncomfortable about coming here but once we got here, it was nice.”

Vermeulen and his wife Sharone and their dog, Oakley, traveled 45 minutes from Montgomery County to attend the Nov. 14 March for Trump rally in D.C.

“We knew the elections would be fake one way or the other and that something like this was going to happen,” Kyle Vermuelen said. “I don’t think anything will come of the election battle that’s happening in the courts. Unfortunately, we’re stuck with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. We will support whoever is in the White House.”

Bipartisan election officials throughout the United States report no widespread voter fraud, the New York Times reported. However FEC Commissioner Trey Trainor told Newsmax TV, "I do believe there's voter fraud taking place in these places. Otherwise, they would allow the observers to go in."

The Vermuelens were among thousands of President Donald Trump supporters who marched from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court building across from the Capitol, questioning Election Day results while President Trump briefly rode by the crowd in a motorcade.

“I came to support Trump,” Sharone Vermeulen, originally from Israel, said. “I think he's doing good for the world and he does good for Israel.”

Former vice president Biden decisively won Maryland’s electoral votes with 65.3% of state votes compared to 32.9% for Trump. The March for Trump rally was organized by several pro-Trump organizations after Biden won 306 electoral votes compared to Trump’s 232. 

“Trump is better for the country economy-wise and safety-wise,” Mrs. Vermeulen added.

While Georgia’s hand recount resulted in Biden’s victory being certified in that state, the Trump campaign is requesting another recount that includes signature matching. As previously reported on Nov. 22, state laws in Georgia allow for a recount after certification when a presidential victory is within .5% of votes. Biden's 12,000 vote win was within a .3% margin.

In Pennsylvania, CBS News reports that counties were ordered on Nov. 6 by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to set apart late-arriving ballots and count them separately after Republicans filed an emergency request in Republican Party of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar, which is currently pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Alito's ruling simply reaffirmed a Pennsylvania ruling that had been adhered to by state election officials.  

Another Pennsylvania lawsuit in federal court requesting a delay in certification was dismissed by U.S. District Justice William Brann. Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said the decision is good news in that it has put the case on an expedited path to the U.S. Supreme Court.

"We will be seeking an expedited appeal to the Third Circuit," Giuliani said in a statement online. "There is so much evidence that in Pennsylvania, Democrats eliminated our opportunity to present 50 witnesses and other evidence that election officials blatantly ignored Pennsylvania’s law denying independent review. This resulted in 682,777 ballots being cast illegally, wittingly, or unwittingly. This is just an extension of the Big Tech, Big Media, Corrupt Democrat censorship of damning facts the American public needs to know."

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany told journalists at a press briefing on Nov. 20, “There's ongoing litigation. There are 74 million Americans that voted for this president. That's more votes than any president has gotten in history. It's really extraordinary and there are very real claims out there that the campaign is pursuing, 234 pages  of affidavits publicly available in Wayne County alone. Two individuals on the canvassing board there have declined to certify. These are real claims. These individuals deserve to be heard. Mass mail out voting was a system that had never been tried in American history. It's one we have identified as being particularly prone to fraud and those claims deserve to be pursued.”

According to USA Today, Monica Palmer and William Hartmann in Wayne, Michigan voted against certifying due to poll books and absentee ballots being allegedly unbalanced.

In Wisconsin, Trump reportedly wired $3 million to election officials last week, requesting a recount of votes cast in Milwaukee and Dane counties, which are Democratic enclaves. According to media reports, Trump's campaign is alleging some absentee ballots were illegally cast and the recount is expected to be completed by Dec. 1.

The Trump campaign announced yesterday that it had cut ties with attorney Sidney Powell for disseminating baseless conspiracy theories regarding election fraud, Forbes reported.

The deadline for presidential electors from every state to cast their votes is on Dec. 14, two days after the follow-up March for Trump Rally in D.C. on Dec. 12.
