1. It certainly does.

3. The mere involvement of LG in a race puts

the results into question. He has the morals of Lady Macbeth and I put nothing beneath him.

4. Nope. Not playin' this game.

Bring me some evidence, then we talk.

6. How about this? You think this guy would lie under oath?

15. 2 things (actually 3, and counting)

1) the OP concerns the SC race (maybe you missed that)
2) the poster has gone back and edited the OP -- removing some of the "Inquiring minds want to know" element it originally sported
3) what either you or I "think" (about X, Y or Z) has absolutely zip to do with evidence or fact. It's called speculation (at best!).

Show me the stolen votes, or illegal actions, that took place in the race in question. Then I'm right there calling for prosecution (along with lots of others). But I'm not calling foul before I see any evidence. And if you want to engage in that activity -- it's a free world, but you can expect some push back.

In a word -- "Prove it!"

17. I am saying

We need an audit. Just like the Republicans demanded in Georgia. You can not have facts until you do. Ask Republicans.

[stopdiggin]

19. no. what you're actually saying

is, "Lindsey Graham is a cheater -- therefore an audit is warranted" Still, sans evidence. Do you have a reason to call for an audit -- other than the fact that LG is an odious politician?

[True Blue American]

20. Do not tell me what

I am saying. If Republicans can demand audits as they did in Georgia we have the same right. That is exactly what they did.

Lindsey over stepped himself in Georgia. Now he admits he did the same thing in Arizona and Nevada. That is Election meddling, yet you concentrate on telling me what you think I said.

[stopdiggin]

21. Georgia was going to get an audit (and a recount)

due to a razor thin margin -- regardless of what the Republicans did. There are mechanisms and provisions ....

Sigh. Oh, never mind.
Do your evidence free thing, if you feel better. Good luck!

22. Georgia had a recount because Republicans demanded it.!

End of conversation!

[stopdiggin]

25. a demand that can be turned away

(and in many instance will be be) without meeting certain criteria. The "no brainer" here was .... Yepper. A very narrow margin.

Georgia.gov -- State law does not require an automatic recount of votes. However, based on Georgia H.B. 316 (2019), a candidate can request a recount if the margin is less than or equal to 0.5%. That request has to be made within two business days of the results being certified.

Other common situations where a recount may be requested include:

If there is a suspected error or discrepancy in the returns, an election official can ask for a recount.

If a candidate for federal or state office petitions the Secretary of State regarding a suspected error or discrepancy, the Secretary of State can ask for a recount.

And interestingly enough -- still nothing at all to do with the South Carolina race. Supposedly the one in question here.

26. Georgia hasn't had a recount. Georgia has had an audit that was planned before the election:

its purpose was to look for any problems

[mopinko]

5. you know he tried.

of that there is no doubt.

[ecdab]

8. Not only do you know that LG tried - you know that Republicans all across the country tried.

You can also be sure that in some cases they succeeded.

[2naSalit]

10. I think that's what happened in my state.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

9. If he's willing to try it in Georgia, he was willing to try it in his own race in S.C.

[2naSalit]

11. And might very well have been successful.

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

12. An investigation is necessary for sure. nt

[Solomon]

13. The stupid fuck. Not satisfied with having gotten away with it in his own election, he just

couldn't help meddling in somebody else's. Lock him up.

Definitely needs to be investigated.

[brooklynite]

14. No it doesn't, because Harrison doesn't feel the need to ask it.

[stopdiggin]

16. thanks.

It wasn't a particularly close race. And with little or no evidence to go on -- this kind of rant is just muck raking -- and not at all helpful. Lend your energies someplace where they might do some good.

[True Blue American]

18. Not to worry. Harrison is going into the Biden Administration.

[Cha]

24. Didn't the polls say differently?

[stopdiggin]

28. not exactly sure

some of them might have been calling it close (I don't think 538 ever had Graham losing, or really even terribly close). And, of course the election itself .... This was one they didn't have any trouble calling early.

(if this was a dig at "the polls" -- I'll concede that one in a heartbeat!)

[Cha]

23. Damn Straight it needs to be Asked!

Rt.. TY!

[struggle4progress]

27. That's a reasonable question: if he was willing to try to pressure Georgia to thrown out valid votes

it's worth asking whether he might have done the same in his own state for his own election
