WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump’s call for an election official to intervene in the presidential election and seek an additional 11,780 votes in his favor has gone viral.
The Washington Post has released an audio recording of President Donald Trump urging Georgia’s election official to increase his vote.
President Trump has called a top Georgia election official and said he needs 11,780 votes to win, so that number should be sought.
I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday about Fulton County and voter fraud in Georgia. He was unwilling, or unable, to answer questions such as the “ballots under table” scam, ballot destruction, out of state “voters”, dead voters, and more. He has no clue!

To which election officials respond that Georgia’s election results are accurate and cannot be changed. Georgia’s Democratic candidate Joe Biden is thought to have won.
After President Trump’s audio call went viral, President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris said President Trump had abused power and exceeded his authority.
President Trump, on the other hand, took a stand in his tweet that he talked to Brad Raffinsperger about voting fraud in Fulton County, but he could not respond regarding the dead people’s vote, wrong ballot and secret ballot.
In response to President Trump’s claim, Brad Raffensperger said in a tweet: “Respected President Trump, what you are saying is not true. The facts will come out soon. ”
Respectfully, President Trump: What you're saying is not true. The truth will come out https://t.co/ViYjTSeRcC

It is clear that President Trump has been accusing the election of rigging, but he could not present evidence. Trump’s defeat has been announced in the United States following the results of all the states, while the newly elected President Joe Biden will be sworn in on January 20.
