The head of an international delegation monitoring the US election says his team has no evidence to support US President Donald Trump's claims about alleged fraud involving mail-in absentee ballots.
Michael Georg Link, a German lawmaker who heads an observer mission of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, told German public broadcaster rbb Thursday that "on the election day itself, we couldn't see any violations" at the US polling places they visited.

Link said he was "very surprised" by Trump's claims about postal ballot fraud because the United States has a long history of this method of voting, going back to the 19th century.
"We looked into this. We found no violations of the rules whatsoever," Link told rbb.
