Seriously? The POTUS, the LEADER of your PARTY, the LEADER of your NATION, who can politically wreck your career isn't "pressuring" when he spends an hour on the phone telling you you have to find some votes.
You guys must be a special kind of stupid...or maybe it's just the koolaid you consume.
"Integrity" my ass. Raffensperger is the one who made the decision to by the Dominion voting machines. He ran the election. If fraud is uncovered, then it's his ass hanging on the petard.

You know, I'd like to say that I was surprised by this phone call over the weekend, but sadly, I'm not. Just yet another example of Trump being Trump and trying to intimidate others into going his way. And, I also find it very interesting that there was a specific number of votes that Trump wanted GA to find. The number was 11,780, which is just one more vote than what he lost to Biden on. Sorry, but Trump can't accept his loss, and he's doing everything that he can to try to get people to steal the election for him.
Incidentally, GA has had 3 recounts since the election was held, and each and every time, the vote count said that Biden had won. And, if Trump is telling them to "find" more votes for him, that sounds very much like he's trying to steal the election and not Biden.
The more that Trump was able to get away with, it seems the harder he pushes to get away with even more. And, I had predicted a couple of years ago that if Trump wasn't kicked out by the Senate (even though he was impeached by the House), he would think that he was bulletproof and would push for even more and more crazy stuff. Sadly, that prediction came true, because there is no president in the history of this country who has done what Trump has done. If this had been a Democrat, Republicans would be screaming bloody murder and would be doing their best to remove him.
Do I want to see Trump impeached over this? Not really, because he only has 2 weeks left of his term, and will be outta there before charges could be brought against him, meaning that it would be a waste of taxpayer money and valuable legislation time.
And, as far as the conversation being "leaked", well, hate to tell you but most conversations between elected officials are part of the public record unless they contain classified information (which this phone call doesn't have any of). Trump should have realized when he took the job that he was going to be in the limelight, and also realized that every thing he said was going to be recorded and made available to the American people, but, sadly, he didn't.

Trump confirmed in a tweet Sunday that he had spoken with Georgia's secretary of state, Republican Brad Raffensperger, a day earlier.
Audio snippets of the conversation were posted online by The Washington Post. A recording of the call was later obtained by The Associated Press from a person who was on the call.
The president, who has refused to accept his loss to the Democratic president-elect, is heard telling Raffensperger at one point: “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.”
Georgia's certified election results show Biden won the state's Nov. 3 election by 11,779 votes.
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.
Another impeachable offense - even worse than the first one! I've been listening to CNN reporting the complete audio of the one-hour rant to push for the overthrow of the Georgia election. Trump is truly insane!
The most comical thing I heard Trump say in his rant is that he actually thinks his cult rallies were an accurate reflection of overall voter intent. That was hilarious! Sane people don't attend cult rallies.
Atlanta is one of the most corrupt Democrat controlled big city shitholes in the US.
The filthy ass Negroes that run the goddamn ghetto city hates Trump because he threatened their welfare. Being low IQ hate filled dumbass Negros they are not smart enough to understand that he provided jobs to Blacks that the Democrats never did.
They are corrupt to the core and they did the counting with fradualent mail in ballots. They kicked the Republican observers out and they stopped counting when Trump was ahead and then magically resumed counting later with more China Joe votes. We even have affidavits from poll workers that said there was corruption.
The Useful Idiot Governor and SoS are afraid of pissing off the ghetto monkeys and won't do the right thing.
They will get away with it. The corrupt Democrats will come up with enough fraudulent votes to keep their operatives in office. unless they decide to replace them with Democrats.
Honest elections are over in the US. We will never see another one. The Democrats have learned how to steal elections and our Republic is over. The Republicans are letting the Democrats steal this country because they are afraid to make waves.
Like Ben said "a Republic if you can keep it". We don't have the courage to keep it. Thanks to Socialist greed the US is just as much of a corrupt country as any banana republic.
To dimwit Trumpers I say, here we have Trump telling the Georgia Secretary of state to engage in fraud and overthrow the newly elected government. When will Trump be arrested?
