person
Brad Raffensperger, Georgia's Republican Secretary of State, oversaw the 2020 election in Georgia including three recounts that confirmed Biden's victory. In a January 2, 2021 phone call, Trump pressured Raffensperger to "find 11,780 votes" — one more than Biden's margin. Raffensperger refused, telling Trump his claims were wrong, and later released the recording. The call became key evidence in Trump's Georgia indictment. Raffensperger received death threats for upholding the election results.
