President Trump isn’t giving up on Georgia, reportedly telling Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find the votes needed to overturn the state in his favor.
Trump reiterated claims that election integrity was undermined in Georgia, prompting its 16 electoral votes to go to President-elect Joe Biden, according to audio released by the Washington Post. Trump reportedly accused Raffensperger, a fellow Republican, of knowing what was happening but not doing anything about it.
“You should want to have an accurate election. And you’re a Republican,” Trump allegedly said in a call to Raffensperger and Ryan Germany, a general counsel in the secretary of state’s office. “… You know what they did, and you’re not reporting it. That’s a criminal offense, and you can’t let that happen. That’s a big risk.”
