2) Trump’s Clear Attempt to Change the 2020 Electoral Count in Georgia was a Crime in Plain Earshot

Reason #2 to Vote Blue on Nov 5

On Jan 3, 2021, I listened to the recording of Trump browbeating the Georgia Secretary of State on the telephone into changing the 2020 State election count. What I heard then was both amazing and shocking.

Amazing that Trump could talk for more than ten minutes straight and yet the logic is so poor – one sentence (if it’s actally completed) rarely connects logically to the next sentence. Despite the lack of logic, his purpose is unmistakable: “I won this [Georgia Presidential] election by hundreds of thousands of votes” therefore Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger must change the actual vote count to match my belief.

Used threats like a gangster, that was my immediate reaction

Amazing that he thinks there is a logical connection to how many people appear at his rallies to how many votes he might get.

Amazing that he thinks “Trump media” posters tell only the truth whereas “social media is big tech” and biased.

Shocking that Trump did not have a civil “Presidential” conversation but tried to use bluster and bullying to get Secretary of State Raffensperger (a life-long conservative Republican who voted for Trump) to “find 12,000 votes” for Trump and thus change the actual results for Biden’s State win, even though the Secretary had conducted two recounts and even though both the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and the FBI had investigated all of numerous so-called voting irregularities and found them to have no substance or bearing on the election results.

Shocking that he hinted (or threatened) that Raffensperger (who simply did his job according to the law) could be criminally charged when my first thought, listening to Trump’s increasing frustration and anger, was Trump sounds like an organized crime “godfather” threatening a decent local storekeeper into selling stolen goods in his store.

I don’t need a successful prosecution by a Georgia District Attorney to know a crime was committed by Trump. I heard it myself.
