Trump Pressures Georgia SOS Raffensperger to 'Find' Votes

| Trump 45 & 47

In a recorded phone call, Trump asks Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to 'find 11,780 votes' — exactly one more than Biden's margin — to flip the state. Raffensperger refuses. The call is later cited as a key piece of evidence in the Georgia RICO indictment against Trump (2023) and in his second impeachment proceedings. Trump describes the call as 'perfect.'
