Trump in trouble in Arizona

Per the Washington Post:

In a phone call in late 2020, President Donald Trump tried to pressure Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) to overturn the state’s presidential election results, saying that if enough fraudulent votes could be found it would overcome Trump’s narrow loss in Arizona, according to three people familiar with the call.
Trump also repeatedly asked Vice President Mike Pence to call Ducey and prod him to find the evidence to substantiate Trump’s claims of fraud, according to two of these people. Pence called Ducey several times to discuss the election, they said, though he did not follow Trump’s directions to pressure the governor.


I think this is behind a paywall. I simply cannot understand how any voter continues to support this individual. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/07/01/trump-2020-election-arizona-governor-doug-ducey/

On edit, originally said Georgia (since he’s in trouble there too)

On second edit, added the link.

It's not a crime if he attempted to do something illegal but didn't succeed. And if he did succeed he'd probably be president so he could just pardon himself. So basically this was another "perfect phonecall".
