Donald Trump has pressed Georgia’s top election official to “find” enough votes to reverse his defeat in the state, according to an audio recording of a phone call that reached the Washington Post.
The Washington Post, which today published excerpts from the hour-long phone call between Trump and Georgia’s Republican Secretary General Brad Raufersperger, reported that Donald Trump was flattering him: an attempt to undo his defeat in Georgia by President-elect Joe Biden. .
According to the newspaper, during the phone call, Rafensberger and his office’s legal counsel rejected Trump’s allegations and told the president that it was based on conspiracy theories about what constitutes a fair and equitable electoral process. Audio excerpts, published by the Post, confirm this.
“The people of Georgia are angry, the people of the country are angry,” Trump said, according to an excerpt from the recording posted on the US newspaper’s website. “And there’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you recalculated” the votes.
“So look. All I want is this. I just want to get 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have.” Because we won the state, “said the outgoing US president, insisting that” there is no way “that has lost the state.
The White House declined to comment. Rafensperger’s office has not responded to requests for comment. Joe Biden’s transition office has not commented.
