I just finished watching the full Georgia / Trump call and Georgia looks really guilty. For reference, here is the full call: https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/audio-trumps-full-jan-2-call-with-ga-secretary-of-state/2021/01/03/3f9426f4-7937-4718-8a8e-9d6052001991_video.html

Basically, when Trump says "we just need to find 11,000 votes" he means that they just need to close the gap to get the victory. Trump mentioned many avenues of fraud: out of state voters, dead voters, duplicate voters, water main break / suitcase ballots, etc and his whole point is that not all of those need to be proven, just one to close the gap of the 11,000 or so votes he is down and he has victory. Trump said he thinks they won the state by 400k or 500k votes but they just need to close the gap so Trump wins by one vote as it doesn't matter if he wins by 1 vote or 500k votes.

What was telling though was how Georgia kept making claims but could not back anything up. Georgia says that they investigates and found that only 2 dead people voted, but Trump's team found some 5,000 dead voters. Trump's team says that they would like to cross-reference their data with the data Georgia has, as they have said there may be some people they are matching on by name and DOB that are duplicates (eg: John Smith born in 1980 shows up as dead, but there may be another John Smith born in 1980 that is alive that is the real voter) but they can't do that without access to the data that only Georgia has.

Time and again Trump and his team make a claim on the call and Georgia says it's been debunked, but when Trump's team asks to see the data they say it's protected and they can't give Trump's team access to the data. Trump just has to take Georgia's word for it.

At the end of the call, Trump's team basically says, let's just focus on one of these fraudulent avenues. Let's sit down and compare the data we have with the data you have. This avenue of fraud has some 24,000 votes in question, which is more than enough to swing the state to Trump. Trump's team seemed to imply that if they sat down and viewed the data and it showed nothing they might let the rest go, but if their suspicions are correct then Trump wins. It sounded like they wanted to go all in on these 24,000 votes.

Georgia basically had some non-committal response like "we'll have our lawyers contact your lawyers" etc which makes me think that isn't going to happen.

Bottom line, Georgia looked really guilty in that call. Georgia kept saying Trump's data was inaccurate, but when asked to produce their data said no, it's protected. Basically, just trust us.

Hoping Trump has something up his sleeve he can do if Georgia doesn't give Trump access to their data.
