Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has promised a smooth transition to a second Trump administration.
Mike Pompeo: "There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration. We're ready. The world is watching what's taking place. We're going to count all the votes. When the process is complete there'll be electors selected. There's a process. The Constitution lays it out pretty clearly.
"The world should have every confidence that the transition necessary to make sure that the State Department is functional today, successful today, and successful with the President who is in office on January, 20th, a minute after noon will also be successful.
"I went through a transition on the front and I've been on the other side of this. I'm very confident that we will do all the things that are necessary to make sure that the government, the United States government, continues to perform its national security function as we go forward."
Reporter: "Do you believe there's widespread voter fraud? The reports that we're getting from Pennsylvania, from Michigan showing vote totals with massive leads, or significant leads with 99% reporting are going to be overturned. Did the United States fail to conduct a fraudulent free election?"
MP: "Rich, I'm the Secretary of State. I'm getting calls from all across the world. These people are watching our election. They understand that we have a legal process. They understand that this takes time.
"Right, it took us 37 plus days in an election back in 2000, conducted a successful transition then. I am very confident that we will count, and we must count every legal vote. We must make sure that any vote that wasn't lawful must not be counted. That includes your vote if it's done improperly. We got to get that right. When we get it right, we'll get it right. We're in good shape."
