Trump held an hour-long conference call with Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger. He was joined on the call by White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and several lawyers.
Trump: “If we could just go over some of the NUMBERS, I think it’s pretty clear that we won. We won very substantially in Georgia.” He spends the next hour presenting "NUMBERS" he thinks prove his case. This is what Donald Trump thinks passes for proof.
- Rally size
- Numbers that only White House staff possess
- Number of people who said he couldn’t lose
- Number of people who are angry about the election
- Number of down-ballot votes
- Number of rumors, allegations and unconfirmed reports
- Number of things that don’t pass his ‘smell’ test
- Number of times that Trump has repeated unsubstantiated claims that the election was rigged.
