Trump's election fraud: Biden's win is statistically impossible

The U.S supreme court has rejected a lawsuit from Texas' Attorney General, seeking to invalidate election results in four other states. He claimed that Biden's win is statistically impossible because Trump was leading when most of the votes have been counted. However, many of the late-arriving votes were mail-in votes, which were mostly for Biden because Trump has urged his voters to cast their votes in person.
