UPDATE: Saturday Trump Rally Moved To Bedminster
Originally scheduled for Wayne's municipal building, the rally has been moved to Bedminster.
WAYNE, NJ — A joint "Protect The Vote" Donald Trump rally originally scheduled at Wayne's municipal building has been moved to Bedminster's Clarence Dillon Public Library, organizers announced on social media.
As "Protect the Vote" rallies spread across the country — usually in defense of actually counting all the votes — a separate "Protect the Vote" rally is scheduled in support of the President, and his unfounded claims that voter fraud is cheating him out of re-election.
"What is happening before our very eyes is unprecedented and we must take a stand. Bring your Trump flags, American flags, and signs. We can’t let them steal this election," read the event description on Facebook.

This event comes as Trump continues to double down on unfounded claims of voter fraud, and has expanded his efforts to involve the Supreme Court in the election process.
As results continued rolling in Wednesday, and two battleground states flipped blue, the Trump campaign filed legal challenges in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Georgia, joining a pre-existing lawsuit in Pennsylvania and another the campaign said it will file in Nevada.

The campaign in Michigan and Pennsylvania sued to halt the counting of ballots, claiming it was not given "meaningful" access to review ballots that have already been processed, according to a Patch report.

This isn't the first time supporters of the President have gathered at the municipal building in recent weeks.
Last Sunday, rally-goers waved Trump 2020 flags and blasted classic rock music through speakers set up along Valley Road.
Police estimate at the peak of that rally, as many as 300 people were present.
