Lindsey Graham Denies Pressuring Georgia Official To Toss Legal Ballots
But Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says Graham’s implications were clear.
Raffensperger, a Republican, told the Post that it was clear to him that Graham was suggesting he find a way to throw out ballots.
“It sure looked like he was wanting to go down that road,” he said. After Graham’s response came out, he stood by his assertion on CNN.
“The implication is ‘Look hard and see how many ballots you can throw,’” he said.
Since Trump lost his bid for reelection, Graham has been part of the GOP chorus questioning the integrity of the electoral process and expressing outrage at the media for calling the winner based on results released by the states, despite that being the case in all modern elections. In 2016, for example, Democratic challenger Hillary Clinton conceded to Trump the day after the election, based on vote projections, even though final tallies were days or even weeks away in several states.
