The voters may have to wait a while for this race to be called, but CNN has learned the Trump campaign won't necessarily wait for news organizations to make that call.

That's even if a large number of mail and ballots remain uncounted.

The Trump campaign, we're told plans to be very aggressive and is preparing to declare victory if the president is close to, but doesn't clinch the 270 electoral votes needed to win re-election.

Now, that would represent a break from practices in every modern election and defy basic common sense.

It appears President Trump faces an uphill battle fight in Pennsylvania, perhaps the most important of all battleground states for him.

So what's he doing?

He's laying the groundwork for a legal fight.

Mail and ballots in Pennsylvania can arrive up to three days after election day and still

be counted there.

That's a decision for now that the U.S. Supreme Court let stand and the president wants to challenge.

I think it's a terrible decision by the Supreme Court, a terrible decision.

Now, I don't know if that's going to be changed because we're going to go in the night of

as soon as that election's over, we're going in with our lawyers.

It's important to recognize here, of course, that vote counting always continues beyond election night.

Pennsylvania is one of 22 states plus Washington, D.C., that will count votes arriving after

election day.

That also includes the swing states of North Carolina and Ohio.

Hello, everybody. You ready?

You ready?

It's going to be unbelievable.

Holy crap, the intimidation has begun.

The violence is out there.
