Washington (CNN)In the now-notorious phone call between President Donald Trump, Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and staff, the President repeated multiple false claims in an effort to claim victory in Georgia, a state he lost to President-elect Joe Biden.
Trump has been tossing out debunked conspiracy theories over the election in Georgia -- a state that flipped from Trump in 2016 to Biden -- since just days after he lost. The state has certified its election results three times under Raffensperger's leadership and found no mass voter fraud.
In one of the most striking moments of the call, which was obtained by CNN and first reported by The Washington Post, Trump said, "I just want to find 11,780 votes" -- one more than he lost by -- and proposed several areas where Biden's total might be reduced.
Here's a look at the facts.
