"11,780 Votes" is a song by The Gregory Brothers, which is a satirical musical group known for their viral YouTube videos and auto-tuned remixes. The song is a remix of an audio recording of a phone call between former President Donald Trump and Brad Raffensperger, the Secretary of State of Georgia, that took place on January 2, 2021. In the call, Trump repeatedly asks Raffensperger to find him 11,780 votes, which would be enough to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia and declare Trump the winner. However, Raffensperger and his team insist that the election results were accurate and fair. Throughout the call, Trump makes various unsubstantiated claims about voter fraud, including the involvement of dead people and phony ballots. The song remixes and autotunes the audio clips from the call, adding a musical backdrop and repeating certain lines for comedic effect. The lyrics highlight the absurdity of Trump's requests and the ongoing controversy surrounding the 2020 election. The Gregory Brothers are known for their ability to turn viral moments and news events into catchy songs, often adding humor and satire to the original content. "11,780 Votes" is one of their many songs that gained popularity for its comedic take on a real-life event.
