Funny Fred Brennan tweet:
Trump follows the Constitution the way I follow the Controlled Substances Act
Everything it says not to do I want to try

Once a state has certified an election, is there even a way to reverse it?
Still trying to understand what Trump thinks GaSoS can do.
(I get that sowing doubt underwrites his strategy of getting Congress to object to certain states' EC votes, so I mean at the state level.)

Hmmm I wonder where they got that idea...
Trump: Do you have provisional ballots at all, Brad? Provisional ballots?
Raffensperger: Provisional ballots are allowed by state law.
Trump: Sure, but I mean, are they counted or did you just hold them back because they, you know, in other words, how many provisional ballots do you have in the state?
Raffensperger: We’ll get you that number.
Trump: Because most of them are made out to the name Trump. Because these are people that were scammed when they came in. And we have thousands of people that have testified or that want to testify when they came in they were probably going to vote on November 3. And they were told I’m sorry, you’ve already been voted for, you’ve already voted. The women, men started screaming, No. I proudly voted til November 3. They said, I’m sorry, but you’ve already been voted for and you have a ballot and these people are beside themselves. So they went out and they filled in a provisional ballot, putting the name Trump on it.

Summary of phone call
If you just let us do the vote counting, we can prove that we won.
Huh
At least he was honest by admitting he's a schmuck. Twice.

He's trying to get GA officials to admit their numbers may be wrong
Or, to at least entertain the possibility so that there is justification to stall further.
GA seemed to hold strong on not playing that game.
