US poll: Only legal votes ought to be counted – Melania Trump

Outgoing US' First Lady Melania Trump

United State’s outgoing First Lady, Melania Trump has broken her silence on her husband, President Donald Trump’s defeat at the US presidential poll by the Democratic Party’s main challenger Joe Biden.

President Trump lost the presidential election after his challenger, Joe Biden secured 279 electoral college votes with two states left.

Trump has consistently said he was robbed and that he won the election, an allegation he could not substantiate.

He has, however, gone to court to challenge the victory of Biden at the poll.

Melania has not spoken on the election since she cast her vote on November 3.

But she tweeted on Sunday in support of her husband that only legal votes should be counted and not illegal votes, which Trump claimed were counted to give victory to Biden.

According to Melania, the American people deserved fair elections.

She stated that the nation’s democracy must be protected with complete transparency.

“The American people deserve fair elections. Every legal – not illegal – vote should be counted.

“We must protect our democracy with complete transparency,” she tweeted.
