Listen to Trump attempt to coerce Georgia Sec. of State to find 11K+ votes to throw election his way

In an unbelievable call, Trump attempted to force Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to find 11K+ votes to flip the election to him. If any other country had a president coercing a Secretary of State attempting to throw an election, we would ask for sanctions against the country.
Trump pressures Georgia’s Raffensperger to overturn his defeat in extraordinary call – The Washington Post
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.
