One of the biggest revelations at this time came when a recorded phone conversation between Donald Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger surfaced. Following the call, Raffensperger hints that an investigation into Trump’s contacts with other election officials.
The phone conversation between Raffensperger and Trump revealed the outgoing president pleading to “find” more votes that could overturn Joe Biden’s win in Georgia in his favor. Speaking to NBC News, the Georgia Republican expressed his concerns regarding directly contacting Trump due to the fact that his campaign is filing a lawsuit against him and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, who is also a Republican. Trump has targeted both of them in his Twitter tirades following his loss in the typically-Republican leaning state. Georgia has affirmed Biden’s win a few times with a few recounts and recertifications.
“He’s coming up short on the election, he won’t be re-elected, and I know that he’s not pleased with how the results went in other states,” said Raffensperger. “I’m very confident in the results we have here in Georgia and that’s the cold hard truth.”
Raffensperger revealed that the call with Trump eventually happened due to the push of some White House officials. Although Raffensperger did not personally record the call nor release it, he was glad it surfaced anyway after Trump supposedly twisted the events through his Twitter post. Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling refuted Trump’s claims that he brought up during the phone call with Raffensperger once again during a press conference Monday. Sterling confirmed that nothing that they found in their investigations would change the outcome of the elections.
As for Trump’s request or demand that Georgia election officials “find” more votes for him, Raffensperger told the Associated Press that he is confident in the election outcome in the state. This is despite the planned votes to object the results by Republicans in Congress and the Senate this week. Since the surfacing of the phone conversation recordings, David Worley, the Democratic member of the state’s election board, emailed Raffensperger to request that his office launch an investigation.
Worley cited the two Georgia laws that may have been violated by Trump during the phone call based on the transcript of the conversation: conspiracy to commit election fraud and criminal solicitation to commit election fraud.
