Trump, on tape, presses Ga. official to 'find' Trump votes

Quote

 

ATLANTA -- President Donald Trump pressured Georgia's Republican secretary of state to “find” enough votes to overturn Joe Biden's win in the state's presidential election, repeatedly citing disproven claims of fraud and raising the prospect of “criminal offense" if officials did not change the vote count, according to a recording of the conversation.,,,

,,,

“All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have," Trump said. "Because we won the state."

Georgia counted its votes three times before certifying Biden's win by a 11,779 margin, Raffensperger noted: “President Trump, we’ve had several lawsuits, and we’ve had to respond in court to the lawsuits and the contentions. We don’t agree that you have won."...

First I read a transcript and then I listened to the full call.  There are those among us who support this effort to subvert our election. 

Despots don't concede.

Ga Secretary of State Brad Raffensburger  holding press conference 3PM today.  Wouldn't be surprised if GA Attorney General announces investigation/charges re Presidents phone call as violation GA law.

Any pardon Trump would give himself, wouldn't cover this state crime.

I would love to think that his responses to Trump were civic minded but I know better. Both him and Kemp were responsible for the voting machines and the process in Georgia and they are just defending their choices. Theoretically, if Trump is right, then doesn't that make Stacey Abrams the winner also Purdue a loser?

Theoretically, if Trump was right there would be evidence of widespread voter fraud.  Instead, there's evidence that Georgia has a long history of suppressing black votes. Trump lost the election.

I was being sarcastic. If Trump was ever right the moon would crash into the earth!

Opinion: Just imagine if Republicans had done this 11 months ago

A year ago House and Senate Republicans made a corrupt and consequential choice.  They are responsible for everything that has followed. I remind my senators of that reality everytime they try to tell me what good things they are doing for me while in DC. I call them regularly and remind them.
