NAACP Wants Georgia DA to Investigate Trump’s Call to Raffensperger
The NAACP is calling on the Fulton County District Attorney to investigate President Donald Trump’s weekend call to Brad Raffensperger when he asked the top election official in Georgia to “find 11,780 votes” for him to overturn the state’s election results.
In Georgia, Black voters were critical to the success of the Biden campaign, and NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson said that the president’s calling on election officials to “find” votes is the latest stunt, along with a series of lawsuits filed by the Trump Administration, targeting African American voters.
“This is a racist attack on Black voters. President Trump’s desperate and futile attempts to invalidate and falsify votes cast by Georgia voters add to a growing list of criminal acts that must be addressed. His blatant disregard of the election’s accurate results is harmful to the American people and democracy itself,” Johnson said.
