Trump: "If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us. If you count the votes that came in late, we're looking to them very strongly, but a lot of votes came in late."
President Trump is suggesting counting postal votes which arrive after election day is "illegal".
But late postal ballots can be counted in around half of US states - as long as they are postmarked by 3 November.
This includes the key states of Pennsylvania, Nevada and North Carolina where a winner is yet to be projected. The deadlines for how late a postal ballot can arrive varies from state to state.
Other states, such as Georgia and Arizona, don't count postal votes which arrive after election day.
In his speech, President Trump said in Pennsylvania late postal ballots were being counted "without even postmarks or any identification whatsoever".
The state's Supreme Court ruled late ballots with missing or illegible postmarks would be counted unless sufficient evidence "demonstrates that it was mailed after election day".
