Georgia’s secretary of state says Lindsey Graham suggested he throw out legal ballots

Utterly shamless.

Georgia’s secretary of state Brad Raffensperger has said that Senator Lindsey Graham asked whether it was possible to invalidate legally cast ballots after Donald Trump was narrowly defeated in the state.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Raffensperger said that his fellow Republican, the chairman of the Senate judiciary committee, questioned him about the state’s signature-matching law and asked whether political bias might have played a role in counties where poll workers accepted higher rates of mismatched signatures. According to Raffensperger, Graham then asked whether he had the authority to toss out all mail-in ballots in these counties.

Raffensperger was reportedly “stunned” by the question, in which Graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to throw out legally cast absentee ballots.

“It sure looked like he was wanting to go down that road,” he said.

Graham confirmed the conversation to reporters on Capitol Hill but said it was “ridiculous” to suggest that he pressured Raffensperger to throw out legally cast absentee ballots. According to Graham, he only wanted to learn more about the process for verifying signatures, because what happens in Georgia “affects the whole nation”.

“I thought it was a good conversation,” Graham said on Monday after the interview was published. “I’m surprised to hear he characterized it that way.”

Trump has refused to accept results showing Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election, falsely blaming rampant fraud and irregularities that election officials in both parties have dismissed as meritless.

When a Republican calls out another Republican like this, you know it’s serious.

I imagine Lindsey will be benefiting from one of those Trump pardons for crimes that may or may not have been committed.

Remember when Miss Linda begged for money in the halls of the Senate ( a crime) , when Jamie Harrison was raising tons of $$$. I hope someone investigates that.

Why is Graham even talking to the Georgia Secretary of State?

Lindsey looks like shit lately. I mean, really bad. Bags under the eyes, a defeated expression and looks as if he doesn't sleep well.

If he did this in Georgia, the South Carolina senate race needs to be fully audited and recounted before results are certified.

One would think if a sitting senator was accused of vote tampering - a felony - he'd deny it in the strongest possible terms. Lady G doesn't even bother to deny what he said to this guy.

So posted at R10 & in retrospect, none of this is surprising at all: Lady G didn't care if it got out because above all else, he cares about his fealty to Dear Leader & he knows not only will Fat Ass Barr not do anything, Barr is probably devising a means to charge to the GA SofS

WHEN will someone finally find out what the fuck they’ve got on this guy?!?!???!?!? We’ve been talking about it for literally YEARS. Why can’t this story break open?!?! I’m SO SICK of this wimp licking Trump’s ass and making a fucking mockery of everything he used to claim to stand for.

Also, this tells you a lot about McCain’s true character, I’m sick of his sainthood too. If McCain was BFF’s with a whore like this, it’s hard to imagine him being a decent person. Lindsey has literally turned into a piece of garbage. I mean, Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt fawn over McCain and exalted him beyond any other modern leader — and we’re uninvited from his funeral by the family!!!!! Who the fuck does that toward obviously loyal friends??!?? These people are all HUMAN GARBAGE.

I was watching a program talking about Mitch, people were saying that he’s totally changed, that he wasn’t like this in his early career, meaning the lust for power. SOMETHING has gone down, there is without question a huge rot that has infiltrated the halls of Congress. Is it blackmail? Is it greed? Is it foreign meddling? Is it bribery? Is it pay-to-play? Is it a combo of all of the above? For the love of all that is good, SOMEONE needs to clean this up!!!! Swamp INDEED.

And do not get my started on fucking JAVANKA!!!!!

They picked the wrong guy to fuck with on this. He was an engineer and has adopted the rollout of these machines as his personal project. He is dying to show how accurate and tamper proof they are. He will give no quarter. Plus, unlike the senatrice, he is independently wealthy from his career before being office.

It truly is amazing that none of his lovers have come forward. There’s something VERY suspect about his entire situation. It’s not exactly a secret in DC that he is gay.

Jake Sherman @JakeSherman · 1h Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC just told a group of reporters in the capitol that he’s also spoken to Secretaries of State in Nevada and Arizona. This is in addition to the sos in Georgia.

He said he’s doing it as a senator who is worried about election integrity. (@pkcapitol asked)

But the SS for AZ denies she spoke with Lady G! THE PLOT THICKENS!!

The kompromat on him must be serious to go this far for Fatbaby. You can tell it's eating up his soul too from his looks. He is risking prison for that orange turd. It's more than being gay too because everyone knows and if he came out no one would be surprised or care.

by Anonymousreply 25November 17, 2020 5:00 PM

I agree r25, I think this is less about the closet, and more about bribery and other actions that are 100% going to land him in prison. He’s committed many felonies, and is shitting his pants now and desperate to stay out of jail. Winning the election has made him even bolder.

by Anonymousreply 26November 17, 2020 5:08 PM

I think the kompromat involves an accidental death of a prostitute.

There are 329 million people in the United States. 329,000,000. And out of all those millions people, Lindsey Graham was deemed to be worthy of a seat in the United States Senate.

I’ll never stop being disgusted and shocked at that fact.

The fact that he was so shameless and bold about it makes me believe this is par for the course with the GOP.

Stealing elections is specialty, and with all the mail in ballots, the GOP couldn't suppress the vote as strongly

Something just occurred to me reading you guys talk about republicans stealing elections. Up to this point, I assumed that trump's demonization of mail in ballots was to set the stage for the tantrums he is throwing right now in hopes of overturning the election after the fact. I am starting to wonder if maybe they knew that the fixes they put in were dependent on manipulating machines used during in person voting. Therefore, causing mail in ballots to bypass their ability to cheat. But somehow, they were still able to cheat in SC and KY.

Food for thought.

It would be completely Trumpian to deny the Senatrice a pardon, just because Plump feels she is insufficiently loyal.

Lol r45. Now that you mention it, that does sound familiar. I guess I was convinced that it was going to be about throwing out ballots. Post election, it makes more sense because Mitch and the Senatrice were still able to manipulate their own particular states. TPTB in the party of trump (formerly the GOP) saw both of them as not just being necessary senate seats, but also high value figures who would do exactly what that little queen from SC is doing right now.

Since Lady Graham also donated $500,000 to Trump's legal defense over voting counts this latest move would seem doubly unethical.
