Georgia’s Republican secretary of state has opened an inquiry into Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn Joe Biden’s election victory in Georgia. Legal scholars say Trump violated at least three federal and state election laws with comments like these, made during an hour-long conference call with Secretary Brad Raffensperger on January 2.
President Donald Trump: “I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have, because we won the state.”
Following an investigation, Georgia’s Republican-controlled state board of elections will determine whether to refer the case to Georgia’s attorney general for prosecution.
