Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday called for "humility" in the 2020 United States presidential election and began to pull away from President Donald Trump, despite being considered one of his closest allies on the global stage.

Bolsonaro said Trump is "not the most important person in the world," the Washington Post reported.

"The most important person is God," Bolsonaro added.

With the situation appearing better and better for Biden on Friday, who has not yet declared victory, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon tweeted: "The world can be a dark place at times just now - but today we are seeing a wee break in the clouds." She alluded to the election unfolding in the US with the hashtag #Elections2020.

Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi in a tweet said that Biden "will be a great President of the United States." And former Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen also tweeted his congratulations.

German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas criticized Trump's obstinance on the matter. "Anyone who continues to pour oil on the fire in a situation like this is acting irresponsibly," Maas told Germany's Funke media group. "Decent losers are more important for the functioning of a democracy than radiant winners."

Election law experts, including one of President George W. Bush’s top campaign attorneys, say the Trump campaign’s current lawsuits lack compelling evidence and are not likely to change the outcome of the 2020 contest.

Asked for comment on President Donald Trump’s claims of illegal absentee and mail-in ballots, former Bush attorney Barry Richard said none of the campaign’s current suits appear supported with evidence.

“I think the lawsuits filed so far are entirely without merit and will not be successful,” Richard, who served as a lead attorney for the Republican candidate during the 2000 recount in Florida, wrote in an email.

The remarks from Richard, who successfully advised the Bush campaign through one of the closest U.S. elections in modern history, came as the Trump campaign turned to the nation’s courts to challenge balloting procedures in several battleground states.

I don't know if there are any states who do not require the pledge from electors. Would have to research that, or maybe someone already knows the answer.
