Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger claims former President Trump’s call last year asking him to find votes that would prove he won the Peach State was a “threat.” After Biden flipped Georgia Raffensperger became a rival to the former President as the state conducted multiple recounts following the 2020 election.
The Hill reports:
Raffensperger wrote in his new book “Integrity Counts” that he felt Trump threatened him multiple times during their now infamous phone call in which the president asked the state secretary to “find” nearly 12,000 ballots in January, The Associated Press reported.
“I felt then — and still believe today — that this was a threat,” Raffensperger wrote. “Others obviously thought so, too, because some of Trump’s more radical followers have responded as if it was their duty to carry out this threat.”
In the phone call he had with Raffensperger, Trump could be heart saying, “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. Because we won the state.”
In the same call, Raffensperger rejected Trump’s claim and said he would not acquiesce to the request.
Raffensperger will have to fight hard to remain Georgia’s Secretary of State now that Republican Rep. Jody Hice announced he would be leaving Congress to challenge Raffensperger for the office. Trump has already endorsed Rep. Hice.
Trump endorsed Jody Hice to become Georgia’s next Secretary of State in March through his Save America PAC.
“Wow, just heard the good news. One of our most outstanding Congressmen, Jody Hice, has announced he is running for Secretary of State in the Great State of Georgia. Jody has been a steadfast fighter for conservative Georgia values and is a staunch ally of the America First agenda,” Trump wrote. “Unlike the current Georgia Secretary of State, Jody leads out front with integrity. I have 100% confidence in Jody to fight for Free, Fair, and Secure Elections in Georgia, in line with our beloved U.S. Constitution. Jody will stop the Fraud and get honesty into our Elections! Jody loves the people of Georgia, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement.”
Why
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger needs to see the Second Amendment solution right between the eyes.

I have a better chance of being elected than rafftysperberg.
Finding Ballots is a threat??? I bet the School Parents were behind it! Those Domestic Terrorists! They probably have Training Camps all over America and they plan to take over the World! Merrick Garland should send a memo to the FBI to investigate those People who think they have a right to care about what their Children are being taught! The nerve of them, have they no shame?
There was corruption voting in Georgia 2020 how about the fake water break at one of polling places. How about ballots scanned twice, counterfeit absentee ballots.
I do not believe the president did this ( Brad Raffensperger is a liar )
A threat…really? Wow, what a moron.
GA needs a new sec of state go Hice
Raffensperger need to be retroactively aborted
His poor mother!
How pathetic Trump Derangement Syndrome is – especially in a state bureaucrat.
Trump did threaten him and our free election process which culminated on January 6 by trying to overthrow the election
Michael, Did your mother birth any honest and sane children and no, you don’t qualify as either or both!
Wow, that us the single most stupidly insane lefty asshat comment ever….did your mom have any kids that have brains you dolt
Bullshit
Better watch something other than CNN. Learn to think and research. Wise up little sheep
Freedom of speech? Nah! Land of the free? Nah. Truth in reporting? Nah, CROOKED OFFICIALS. Nah!
Enough said!
Democrats know how to find votes!!!
Without being asked or told to!
GA Sec of State = one insane M#%@&$ F$%@&#
Raffensperger was a spineless, rhino, who knew there was all kinds of fraud,yet didn’t give a rats arse, to do anything about it,because he hated Trump, what a piece of crap.These are the people we need to kick to the curb in the repuke party of rhinos, they side with the enemy, dumbocraps.
Do you notice how many democrats act like little pussies when they are cornered doing something guilty? Yup! What a bunch of sissies afraid of their own shadows and chickens when they should be doing something to help Americans!
The present Demonrat party has fallen into ignorance, lying, and manipulation to achieve this DISASTER CALLED AMERICA!! Even our enemies are LAUGHING AT US because they see how stupidly our country is being run, YET AMERICANS DO ZERO, NADA, NOTHING TO STOP THIS INSANITY!
If Americans choose to do nothing, then they deserve to live in this squalor of incompetence coming from D.C.! Guess living a FREE LIFE DOESN’t matter any more????
Got a start tonight. Virginia looks like its going RED!!!!!!!
I get it now. Run for office. Promise you do everything they want. Media run wing man for u. Get elected. Then let the corruption begin. Rake in money. Tell as many lies as u need. Kiss as much butt as possible. Break every rule and law. Cause I can. Tell some more lies. See my crimes coming to light. Write a book. Pick a good title that is something I never processed. Escape any crimes I have committed. Become speaker of house. These parasites are just pathetic. Democrats are liars, cheats and bullies. Time to get some integrity in office.
The guy is a RINO pile
Who believes anything this criminal is saying – the whole GA state Gov is involved in this cover-up and the people awake see it
Brad, you forget we heard the conversation. WE have not forgotten. He never threatened you. You and your lawyer leaked cut audio to press. You said no fraud. Guess what there was fraud. You are a liar. Brad red wave coming.
MORE ‘GOOD TROUBLE’ FROM THE COMMIE LED JOHN LEWIS CROWD.
I listened to the entire conversation, it was more like: hey! Rathensburger! Why are you allowing ballots with really late dates, like way after the election to count? And, why dont you reject these obviously false votes? Why are you allowing a silicone valley billionaire to put up more voting boxes( that were not supervised),in your state? Hey rathensburger! How could you let this happen?
