Supporters of President voice concerns in Youngstown on election
On Friday, dozens of Trump supporters showed up in downtown Youngstown at the corner of West Boardman and Phelps outside of the WFMJ office.
The group waving Trump 2020 flags and carried signs about the election, gathering to voice concerns over the Nov. 3 election, which is still too close to call for either President Donald Trump or his opponent, Democratic contender Joe Biden.
Supporters tooted their vehicle horns as they drove around the block, some with Trump flags, waved at passing supporters, chanting "four more years," sang songs including Twisted Sister's "We're Not Going to Take It" and "God Bless America" and prayed.
Members of the group had earlier gathered on Midlothian Blvd.
The group was showing support for President Trump after he addressed the nation Thursday night alleging issues with the ballots in multiple states, including states that are to close to be called for either candidate, including Pennsylvania, Georgia,
One of the demonstrators, Greg DeDomenic of Youngstown, carrying a sign that said 'Sick of IT Corruption in Govt Censorship by Media & Tech Tech, Fraudulent Election,' told WFMJ news that "We are sick of it as the signs says. We feel there is corruption that has been unpenalized."
The group sent out an email to the 21 News news email account that stated: The Fight has just begun! Stay strong and we will get ready!! We know that Trump and his administration will FIGHT for justice and we need to show our support NOW! We certainly know the corruption in our country is way higher than any of us ever thought! It has not been easy during his term as president but he pressed on and did it anyways....making America great again!.....Patriotism is back! We need to use this corruption throughout our government and media as our fuel to take this movement he has started and make it UNSTOPPABLE! BE BOLD AND STAND WITH US TOMORROW AT THE NEWS STATIONS!! Will we get to see you there?
The group said they wanted every legal vote to count.
Another group, Protect the Results Mahoning Valley, said they condemn the false allegations of so-called "stolen elections" made by supporters of President Donald Trump and asks people of Mahoning Valley to have patience while election officials count every vote in the United States.
“While we respect any peaceful group’s right to assemble and practice free speech, we condemn the Stop the Count group’s broader incitement to illegal ballot tampering and to political violence,” said Daphne Carr, co-leader for the Mahoning Valley chapter of Protect the Vote.
