Why of course Lindsey Graham is deeply involved in the attempted coup

[kpete]

Lindsey Graham asked whether Raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures, Raffensperger said. Raffspenger said he was stunned that Graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to toss legally cast ballots.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says he has come under increasing pressure from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, to question the validity of legally cast absentee ballots in an effort to reverse Trump's loss.

1. Let's get this straight, you are a Senator from South Carolina and I'm an elected Secretary

From Georgia. Who the hell are you to be poking around here anyway?

[dware]

2. And, this is a clear case of attempted election interference. nt

[burrowowl]

24. Yes, it needs to be investigated and tried!

[Siwsan]

3. I think Lindsey is worried about whatever info trump* has on him.

Maybe there was a threat that "I'd better win, or else I'll take you all down with me!!!"

[WyattKansas]

15. I want to see tRUMP go nuclear on all the Republicans that didn't steal it for him and...

Blathers all of their secrets on Twitter and in his feigned attempts to still seem relevant press/media appearances... After all, since the news media cuts away from him, he just has to say more shocking things to get their attention and be on tv. Hopefully tRUMP gets mad enough to spill the beans on everything Republicans have done for years to steal elections and screw the American People.

29. Now that's a thought.

It would be perfect karmic justice.

[dreamland]

4. Can Lindsey be tossed into the clinker from interference?

[2naSalit]

30. Once we get our DOJ back, yes.

[SomedayKindaLove]

5. Stunned? Really?

Raffensperger apparently doesn’t know Lindsay Graham like the rest of us do.

[wcmagumba]

6. Like said before, this seems like big time election interference...should be very very illegal....

[dchill]

7. I feel like I'm supposed to be shocked.

[UpInArms]

8. Comey was stunned when trump wanted a loyalty oath

Why are these people so stunned ... they are dealing with mobsters

[Sherman A1]

25. Precisely

I just don't get why they are having trouble understanding.

[Leghorn21]

9. Thanks, SOUTH CAROLINA

Fuckin IDIOTS

[Proud Liberal Dem]

10. Why do Republicans suddenly hate absentee ballots?

They were as important AF to them in 2000 in Florida. They've never had an issue with them in any other election before Trump came on the scene?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. Because they were used by people of color.

More specifically, blacks.

Racism is at the heart of the GOP.

[diva77]

36. My guess is because they are hand marked paper ballots that can be hand counted in the event of an

audit or recount.

The polling places in GA have BMDs which produce a "ballot" which is NOT hand marked, and is the equivalent of the DREs that were finally decertified due to lawsuits by coalitionforgoodgovernance.org. The BMDs produce barcodes which are then "tabulated" -- and how many times have people been to Target and found that the shelf price did not match what the barcode price was on the receipt??!!

11. Trump Obviously Had Leverage Over Him

Most of us could take a pretty good guess what that is. He went from ripping Trump hard to defending him no matter what, something has him toeing the line.

[AZ8theist]

27. Putin political pressure...

Brought to you by your local KGB.

Have a nice implosion, AmeriKa.

[Blecht]

12. This is sedition

In a world where Republicans are held accountable, it'd be good-bye, Lyndsey.

Too bad we don't live in that world.

[Happy Hoosier]

13. That could be a Federal crime.... NT

[NurseJackie]

14. I'm biting my keyboard so that I don't type the words that my son and his husband call him...

... they can't stand the son of a bitch and they have so many choice words for him that would get me in trouble if I repeated them. But I guess they're "allowed" to speak their minds and verbalize the things that everyone thinks about him anyway.

They make me laugh sometimes when they put on an exaggerated southern accent in order to mock him with dialogue that we can easily imagine him saying in the privacy of his own boudoir or in the parlor of his plantation house. It's like he's become a character from Gone With the Wind.

[CanonRay]

16. Brad Raffensperger is finding out what his party is really.

[warmfeet]

17. They have some very damaging information on Lindsey. NT

[lsewpershad]

18. Little Graham

better find his way out of trump's ass before he becomes totally lost.

[rickyhall]

19. Too late...

[Tribetime]

21. The new AG needs to investigate Lindsey and all

Others to see who controls them

[Hassler]

22. Lindseed is getting used to having Chump as his host. If Chump

Leaves, he'll need to grovel around looking for a new host to leach off.

[H2O Man]

23. Recommended.

His ilk are disturbing. And this is because they are highly disturbed people.

[NoMoreRepugs]

26. A coup? Really? Lindsey, u want to go to jail? You?

[karin_sj]

28. Wow...

Thank goodness that Raffensperger is coming forward with this information. If Kemp was still Georgia Secretary of State, it would just have been done right after the election, Biden would have lost Georgia, and we would never have found out about it.

[BobTheSubgenius]

31. At first, I was surprised by Graham's backbone in taking such an extreme position.

Then I realized that he is probably far more afraid of what might happen if he doesn't just buckle up his chin strap, square his shoulders and be a good lockstep foot soldier.

[Fla Dem]

32. Lindsey is a little ass kissing sycophant.

[NurseJackie]

34. As John Oliver described him...

... it's Leslie Jordan's worst role.

[randr]

33. Lindsey knows how fast he will be eaten alive by the Trumplettes if the Don cuts him loose.

Even normal Republicans, those few who have not bowed to the new lord, were always anticipating that the dirt on Lindsey would become a great gay bashing moment for them.

[Blue Owl]

35. Love to see Lindsey get busted for this

[Hermit-The-Prog]

37. How many legal absentee ballots did Lindsey Graham get tossed in South Carolina?
