56. Asking Raffensperger to find just enough votes for him to win is a sure sign of criminal intent.

Sun Jan 3, 2021, 05:24 PM

Jan 2021

In essence, Trump wanted Raffensperger to cheat so he could win. I imagine he had similar conversations with Republican officials of all the "contested" states. Unfortunately for Trump the laws of Georgia made it legal to both record and publish the content of the call.

But then it's the Democrats who "fixed" the election....riiiight.
You can't fix what isn't broken. But, of course, Trump was perfectly willing to break it.
