A year later, a now-infamous call between President Trump and his advisers with Georgia election regulators is still generating attention, with even a local prosecutor and the Jan. 6 commission in Congress inquiring whether the call violated any laws.
The man on the receiving end of the call - Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger - says looking back he views the call as "Just a conversation" in which he conveyed to the 45th president that allegations about election irregularities in Georgia simply were not supported by the facts.
In an interview with Just the News, Raffensperger pointedly declined to say anything threatening or illegal happened on the call, though he previously has claimed in a book he took the call as a threat.
"We all want to win. I get that." Recounting many of the allegations Trump and his allies mentioned on the call - from thousands of dead or underage voters to illegal ballots mysteriously appearing in the Atlanta voting center - Raffensperger said every claim was evaluated and probed by his office, the FBI or the Georgia Bureau of Investigation and none could be corroborated, with many being outright debunked.
The allegations came from a conservative voter integrity group called True the Vote and include video footage of people stuffing ballots into drop boxes, smartphone geospatial data showing possible ballot couriers near the drop boxes and statements from one man who told the group he participated in the illegal ballot-gathering scheme along with others and nonprofit groups, according to the group's complaint.
" Raffensperger has repeatedly tried to put the matter to rest, saying it is more important to focus on future election integrity issues, like getting a state constitutional amendment to ban non-citizen voting, than to rehash the 2020 election.
In the interview aired Tuesday, Raffensperger explained why he wanted the constitutional amendment even though his state's law already prohibits foreigners from voting in elections.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
