Raffensperger: Trump request to 'find' votes was a threat
By Joseph Choi - 11/02/21 04:01 PM EDT

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) wrote in his new book that former President Trump was threatening him when he asked Raffensperger to "find" enough vote to overturn Joe Biden's victory in Georgia.

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.

In his book, the Georgia official wrote that Trump's defeat in the state likely wounded his ego.
