Australia’s former ambassador to the United States, Joe Hockey, says electoral fraud has “for sure” occurred in the United States.

It could be days until a result is known, as Donald Trump and Joe Biden wait to see who will claim key battleground states.

Mr Trump is threatening legal action into mail-in ballots after addressing the nation, declaring “This is a fraud on the American public.”

Mr Hockey told Ben Fordham electoral fraud has definitely occurred.

“The question is whether it’s enough to change the election outcome and I doubt it is.

“In Washington DC, 93 per cent of the city voted for Joe Biden … I find it hard to believe.

“[Trump] hates losing, he doesn’t accept when he’s losing, and he usually reverts to litigation.

“There’s plenty of good reason to have litigation, I mean it is a complete dog’s breakfast right across the country.”
