Photos: Hundreds of protesters across Boston demand officials to ‘count every vote’
"Count Every Vote" rallies and protests are unfurling across the country.
Hundreds gathered across Boston Wednesday to protest President Donald Trump’s unsubstantiated allegations of electoral fraud and claims of victory as a slow and shaky election lurches on.
The afternoon saw a “Count Every Vote” rally on Boston Common. It was one of many across the country as the nation waited for results from a handful of critical battleground states.
