Trump is laying out case for vote fraud vastly exceeding the 11k needed to overturn the result.
As expected, WaPo spin is pure bs.

Trump calls Ruby Freeman "a professional vote scammer".
Says team "painstakingly" estimate at least 18k votes pulled from under table.

Trump says votes pulled from under table were *not* in official voter boxes
Trump: we think votes counted exceeds voters "in a good section of your state" [...] "BUT WE'RE NOT SURE YET SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO REPORT IT"
Doesn't sound like a man grasping at straws.

Raffensperger, in his first response, *jumps* to Dominion. Spins lack of mention of Dominion by Trump (not true!) as Trump team ruling out Dominion issues! 
Trump says no sale. Only that other issues are far more than they need to flip results.

Throughout Trump stresses that he's giving the most conservative estimates of fraud possible and they're many times the figure needed to win. "What's the difference between winning by two votes and half a million?" (adds he probably did win by 500k)
Raffensperger claims his team only found two dead voters versus 5k.
Trump team counter they've been asking for records from Raffensperger's office for weeks.

Trump: "... Trump vote in the whole group. Why don't you want to find this Ryan, what's wrong with you? [...] I'm just curious, why do you keep fighting this thing?"
Again, Trump was sounding VERY confident on this issue, no response from Raffensperger and Ryan was shaky

Trump: "Every single ballot went to Biden, and you didn't know that, but now you know it"
Trump hits home run:
Issues need to be investigated by people who want to find answers. Cites Ryan who affirmed that votes counted by Freeman did NOT all go to Biden, then had to walk it all back.
Many times Raffensperger's team expressed certainty on things they CANNOT know.

Trump: "You guys are so wrong, and you've treated the population of Georgia so badly between you and your Governor [...] he was down 21 points and like a schmuck I endorsed him and he got elected [...] he's a disaster [...] the people of Georgia are so angry right now"
Trump team hit Raffensperger team on their leaning on courts and the cut and paste answer: we've done investigations, found nothing, and no you can't see our data. Trump team pushes that Georgia voters deserve transparency.
Ryan counters by offering to meet with Trump lawyers to reconcile figure of 24,149 illegal votes based on USPS data.
Meadows asks if this meeting will allow them to compare with Sec of State data used to dispute 24k figure.
Ryan: no!
So another pointless meeting of lawyers.

Ryan claims data can't be legally shared.
Someone on Trump's team asks if Raffensperger can deputize Trump lawyers so they can legally view the data. Genius!

Summary
Raffensperger's team evasive on most questions, many unanswered, others deferred to courts and results of their own opaque investigatios. Also overcertain on things they CANNOT know ('there were no' vs 'we found no').

Trump sounded VERY certain on ballot shredding and votes scanned by Ruby going 100% to Biden. Raffensperger's team VERY shaky on the latter.
Ryan gave a definite NO in reply to ballot shredding, again overconfident:
1) it's a new claim with little time to investigate
2) they are claiming to prove a negative
Replying that they've found no evidence would be smarter. Trump's point: no interest in finding answers.
