“Okay, listen. This is what I want. I hope to get 11,780 votes. Because we won in Georgia.”
Trump calls Georgia Secretary of State Lapenceburger
Press “overturn the election results” for 1 hour and approve
Secretary of State refutes “The President’s data is wrong”
The circumstances of President Donald Trump’s circumvention and pressure on senior state government officials until the last minute to overturn the election results were revealed. This is when the term is only 18 days left.
On the 3rd (local time), the Washington Post (WP) recorded a call and transcript of the call by President Trump calling on Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Rappensperger on the 2nd to “find” his vote. Released.
President Trump spoke with Secretary Rappensperger for more than an hour and pressured the votes to be recounted to reverse the election results. In the presidential election held on November 3 last year, President Trump lost 11,779 votes to President-elect Joe Biden in Georgia. The difference in votes was 0.2 percentage points.
So, the 11,780 votes President Trump mentioned to come is the minimum number of votes needed to reverse the election results. President Trump also said, “Is it the same as winning with one vote or winning with 500,000 votes?”
President Trump insisted that thousands of deaths were voted for Secretary Rappensperger, Biden’s 18,000 votes were scanned three times and counted twice, and thousands of people immigrated illegally to vote.
“Well, President, the problem you are raising, the data you have are wrong,” Secretary Rappensperger refuted. “We audited the matter and made sure it wasn’t scanned three times,” he said.
When President Trump claimed that more than 5,000 votes were exercised in the name of the deceased, Secretary Rappensperger replied that “there are only two (confirmed) cases.”
In addition, as President Trump continued insisting that the voting machine maker Dominion has hurriedly replaced the machine and refurbished the internal parts of the machine, and continued insisting on’election fraud’, attorney at the Secretary of State’s office, Ryan Germanie, who participated in the call adamantly refuted, “No.”
When President Trump raised the question, “I heard that they put thousands of ballots in a shredder,” Minister Rappensperger replied, “President, people can say anything on social media.”
President Trump said, “It’s the election we won. It’s not fair to take the victory from us,” he said. “The day after tomorrow, there will be an election in Georgia.
In the Georgia senator elections held in conjunction with the last presidential election, none of the candidates are expected to hold the final vote on the 5th, with no more than half the votes.
To Secretary Rappensperger, who confronted the call with no evidence on the day, President Trump reiterated that “I couldn’t have lost in Georgia” and “We won by hundreds of thousands of votes.”
“People said that I would easily win, but the election results were not,” he said. “I thought they (Democrats) would lose themselves. There was no way they could win.”
Throughout the call, he rebuked and pressured Secretary Rappensperger, but he sootheed and ejaculated, calling him “Brad.”
At the same time, he said that Georgia was not the only place where the results were reversed by election manipulation. “In Detroit, 139% of the voters voted,” he argued, “the state of Pennsylvania has 200,000 more votes.”
