The Washington Post revealed a call between President Donald Trump and a Georgia official, accusing Trump of asking the other side to “cobble together” enough votes to allow him to reverse his victory. But conservative media reverted to the translation of the call, saying that Trump wanted nothing more than an honest vote count, no pressure.
The call was made to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who is also a Republican. The Washington Post, which was the first to report on the call, said Trump was sometimes flattering, sometimes pleading, and threatened Raffensperger with criminal consequences if he didn’t turn his defeat into a win, but didn’t specify what the consequences would be.
But Newsmax, a conservative media outlet, pointed out that the participants in the call also included Raffensperger’s lawyer Ryan Germany, White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and Trump campaign lawyer Cleta Mitchell, and were not just a private conversation between Trump and Raffensperger.
Trump cited numerous repeat votes, dead votes and other election anomalies, but Raffensperger and Germani refuted that the “anomalies” Trump cited were only a handful of cases and were mostly under investigation. But Trump insists he won Georgia on Nov. 3, but lost because of widespread voter fraud.
Newsmax said that the WaPo’s claim that Trump kept asking his opponent to “get out” of the flip was simply a “false accusation” because the translation of the call showed that Trump was only asking for an honest vote count because that would have given him an extra 11,000 votes to win.
Newsmax compiled excerpts from the transcript, including Trump’s suggestion that tens of thousands of people in Georgia went to the polls on Nov. 3 and were told they couldn’t vote because records showed their votes had already been cast, and that “there were, as I understand it, I believe about 4,502 voters who weren’t even on the voter rolls who did vote.
Trump also claimed that there were fraudsters in Fulton County who were in the business of casting votes. They arrived claiming that a major water main had broken and told everyone to leave the polling place, and then the fraudsters took a group of people back to the polling place.
Trump also told the other side, Georgia appeared 4925 individual state voters ran to vote, and nearly 5,000 dead people voted, the total number of voter fraud added up to no less than 300,000 inaccurate votes, but he only needed 11,000 votes to win.
