These newly revealed tapes add to a long list of Donald Trump’s attempts to disrupt election results. He can be heard in a post-election phone call pressuring election officials to refuse to certify 2020 vote totals.
The Trump team calls this a duty to ensure fair elections. But we see it for what it is – a total disregard for democracy.
Listen, John, our election officials have gone above and beyond to count every single vote. Despite years of investigations and election conspiracy theories, there hasn’t been one shred of evidence for any voter fraud that could have changed the outcome of the election.
But the Trump camp is still running on repeated falsehoods about the 2020 election. Which means our Democratic Secretaries of State will need even more support this election year to protect our votes.
