Which part of the call, quote it and we can talk about it. To simply say you have a call means nothing. Quote the part of the call and I will gladly, happily discuss it
Why did Trump think the SOS in Georgia could come up with 11,780 votes? If he had no evidence that that many votes were missing, then he was asking the guy to manufacture 11,780 fake votes.
He said come on bro, you're a republican. I heard the tape. Did you? And you're going to defend Trump? Well, let's hear your "what he meant was"
You god damn liar and nazi.
According to the publicly released recording of the call and reports made by multiple news agencies, Trump attempted to pressure Raffensperger into "finding him votes", despite being repeatedly told that there was no electoral error. Trump's repeated efforts to convince Raffensperger to find some basis to overturn the election results were perceived as pleading and threatening. At one point on the call, Trump told Raffensperger, "What I want to do is this. I just want to find, uh, 11,780 votes, which is one more than [the 11,779 vote margin of defeat] we have, because we won the state."
[6] During the call, Trump falsely suggested that Raffensperger could have committed a criminal offense by refusing to overturn the state's election results.
[5] Legal experts have suggested that Trump's behavior and demands could have violated state and federal laws.
In November and December, as his lawsuits were repeatedly rejected in court, Trump personally communicated with Republican local and state officials in at least three states: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. He talked in person or via phone to state legislators, state attorneys general, and governors, pressuring them to recount the votes, throw out some of the ballots, or get the state legislature to replace the elected Democratic slate of Electoral College members with a Republican slate of electors chosen by the legislature
[25][26] in order to overturn the election results in their states. In December he spoke by phone to the governor of Georgia,
Brian Kemp, and made public demands on the secretary of state,
Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans who had supported Trump in the election. He demanded that they reverse the Georgia election results, threatened them with political retaliation when they did not, strongly criticized them in speeches and tweets, and tweeted that Kemp should resign.

December 23 phone call with chief elections investigator[edit]
On December 23, 2020, Trump called the chief investigator for the Georgia secretary of state's office, who was then conducting a ballot audit in
Cobb County. Raffensperger had ordered the audit in response to allegations of fraud. Trump asked her to scrutinize the ballots and said she would find "dishonesty". The
Washington Post reported on the telephone conversation with apparent quotations of Trump's comments to the chief investigator. It based these quotations on an anonymous source purportedly familiar with the call. At the time of its reporting, it emphasized that Trump had instructed the investigator to "find the fraud" and that she would be a "national hero" if she did so. Based on this reporting, some legal experts said that this phone call appeared to be bribery or obstruction on Trump's part. On December 29, the audit ended. Georgia officials concluded that there was no fraud. Trump was unhappy with those results.
