[QUOTE="Next Day Err, post: 5946223, member: 107379"] The legality of former President Trump's call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on January 2, 2021, is complex and subject to interpretation under various laws. During the call, Trump urged Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes," which raised concerns about potential legal violations. Several legal experts have debated whether this call constituted a violation of federal or state laws, such as: 1. **Election Interference**: Attempting to interfere with or influence the outcome of an election. 2. **Conspiracy to Commit Election Fraud**: Engaging in actions that could be seen as a conspiracy to change election results illegally. 3. **Solicitation of Election Fraud**: Asking someone to commit an act that would result in fraud. Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 21-2-604) specifically makes it illegal to solicit someone to commit election fraud, which some argue the call could fall under. [/QUOTE]
