Bard on a reasonable account of Trump saying "All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have…"

Prompt:

Trump: “All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. There’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated.”

Would a reasonable person strongly suspect that by this Trump tried to coerce a Georgia official to break the law?

Bard:

Yes, a reasonable person could strongly suspect that Donald Trump tried to coerce a Georgia official to break the law by saying, "All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. There’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated."

Trump is asking the Georgia official to "find" enough votes to overturn the election results, even though there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. This is a clear attempt to interfere with the election process and to subvert the will of the voters.

Trump's statement is also coercive because it suggests that the Georgia official will face negative consequences if they do not comply with his request. For example, Trump could imply that the official could lose their job or face other repercussions.

In conclusion, a reasonable person could strongly suspect that Donald Trump tried to coerce a Georgia official to break the law by saying, "All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have. There’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated."
