Full story from The Guardian (to circumvent the WaPo paywall)
>> The
Georgia 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 Graham, 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.
Raffspenger 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. <<
Here's the weirder part though:
>> This comes as Raffensberger faces mounting backlash from his own party after defending the state’s electoral process. The state’s two Republican senators, David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler, both locked in tight run-off elections to keep their seats, have called for Raffensberger’s resignation <<
Get that? Not only are the Pubs yowling that Raffensberger did his job correctly but the two Senate wannabees want him to RESIGN for doing his job correctly. From this we can only conclude that following the rules is just not what they do, and anyone going that route needs to be eliminated.
Then again Loeffler is one of the insider-trading yahoos who scrambled to make profits on COVID early in the year, so that figures.
Perhaps this story tells us even more about those two klowns than about Graham.
