President Trump urged fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, to “find” enough votes to overturn his defeat in an extraordinary one-hour phone call Saturday that election experts said raised legal questions. The Washington Post obtained a recording of the conversation in which Trump alternately berated Raffensperger, tried to flatter him, begged him to act and threatened him with vague criminal consequences if the secretary of state refused to pursue his false claims, at one point warning that Raffensperger was taking “a big risk.” Throughout the call, Raffensperger and his office’s general counsel rejected Trump’s assertions, explaining that the president is relying on debunked conspiracy theories and that President-elect Joe Biden’s 11,779-vote victory in Georgia was fair and accurate.
Trump dismissed their arguments. “The people of Georgia are angry, the people in the country are angry,” he said. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, um, that you’ve recalculated.” Raffensperger responded: “Well, Mr. President, the challenge that you have is, the data you have is wrong.”
At another point, Trump said: “So look. All I want to do is this. I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.” The rambling and at times incoherent conversation offered a remarkable glimpse of how consumed and desperate the president remains about his loss, unwilling or unable to let the matter go and still believing he can reverse the results in enough battleground states to remain in office. “There’s no way I lost Georgia,” Trump said, a phrase he repeated again and again on the call. “There’s no way. We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”

to the BARF WAPO
Who is releasing these recordings?
This is what goes on in election challenges.
Please cite the debunking. We’d all like to see it. This story is getting a lot of play.
It’s true.
Raffy should follow the law and not endorse and enable election fraud.
Deep state sheanagins are behind the leak, selective editing and distortion of the conversation.
It is an example of deep state totalitarianism which we are up against.
impeachment calls exploding on twitter
it’s edited but sure makes Trump look bad
although we all know what his point is
the President is magnanimous and
AGAIN gives the criminal(s) opportunity to correct
their evil/treasonous ways before
they are taken to Justice.
Debunked? Please explain.
I just saw a bit of this on CNN. I guess it is not enough for these w@nkers in the media to completely deny any wrongdoing on the Democrats’ part, they now are cooking up a story to insinuate that Trump engaged in vote fraud.
While I believe some voters (suburban woman dopes) abandoned Trump.
Still how did republican senate and House candidates get over 50% and the presidential candidate lost to a lackluster opponent?
Possible but unlikely with such a strong republican turnout.
It means there were more republican voters in these states and they elected Biden while electing Republicans all down the ticket?
Seems very unlikely.
and now NBC has magically obtained the tape
I keep saying it these bastards need to be decapitated they are no good SOBs media snakes. Without these outlets the rats and the swamp would’ve been buried already 6 feet under! This is it ...there’s no turning back.. a civil war has been foisted upon us and we need to respond properly! We need to storm the mediapukes main quarters and bury the snake!
Uh that is actually NOT what he said, he said to find the votes that are missing, the votes that went from Trump to Biden, that is what he is referring to, and I want those damn votes found too
IMPEACH!!
Please share the evidence. Because if it is fake then what they’re trying to do to President Trump is very bad since they are making him appear to be proposing voter fraud. Which he isn’t. Please share the debunking. It’s important.

Trump: Georgia Secretary of State ‘Unable’ to Answer Questions About ‘Ballots Under Table’
The Epoch Times ^ | JANUARY 03, 2021 | JACK PHILLIPS
Yeah president Trump is a babbling fool /s and meanwhile:
Biden keeps saying he’s proud of Hunter’s (crooked financial) support and that Hunter’s military hero partner is a Russian agent and the entire Biden family email record including Hunter’s sex crimes, somehow is “Russian disinformation”.
God help us.
Impeach who?
