DONALD Trump has misspelled polls in a tweet in which he accused the Democrats of trying to steal the election.
We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Poles are closed!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 4, 2020
The president wrote: "We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the election. We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Poles are closed!"
He added: "I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!"
I will be making a statement tonight. A big WIN!

Twitter has since imposed restrictions on the tweet and placed a warning on it for being "misleading about an election"
The confidence of Republicans in victory in the key state of Florida proved justified when Donald Trump claimed its 29 electoral votes in one of the key battlegrounds.
The president spends lots of time in the Sunshine State in his residence at Mar-a-Lago and has entertained world leaders there.
It comes after Joe Biden told supporters he believes he is “on track” to win the election.

With 36 out of 50 states declared amid a tense night, he said: “We knew this was going to go on but who knew it was going to go into maybe tomorrow morning, maybe even longer.
“But look, we feel good about where we are. We really do. I am here to tell you tonight we believe we’re on track to win this election.”
He reminded them: “I’ve said all along, it’s not my place or Donald Trump’s place to declare who’s won this election, that’s the decision of the American people.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
