(R-Ga.) in his bid to unseat as secretary of state.Raffensperger, a Republican, refused to commit election fraud despite intense pressure from Trump to do so after Trump narrowly lost Georgia in the 2020 election.AdvertisementThe full extent of that pressure campaign became clear in early January, following the between Trump and Raffensperger after the then-president made misleading comments about their conversation.In it, Trump instructed Raffensperger to overturn the results of the election.“All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have because we won the state,” Trump said. “And flipping the state is a great testament to our country because, you know, this is — it’s a testament that they can admit to a mistake or whatever you want to call it.”Georgia prosecutors into the former president’s efforts.
