...he can hardly be blamed for contacting Brad Raffensperger the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia to ask him to commit election fraud. The incalculable odds of actually running into an honest Republican in the State of Georgia have to be astronomically small if not all but impossible.
Graham was just playing the odds and somehow found an actual honest Republican in a state where the two current Republican Senators Perdue and Loeffler have called for Raffensperger to resign for basically not disenfranchising enough Democrats for Trump to win the state, while Loeffler and her husband were accused of insider trading related to her early briefings on the COVID-19 pandemic.
So in all fairness to Graham, what are the odds of accidentally running into an honest Republican in Georgia. Maybe someone here from Georgia knows one other than Raffensperger?

(25,962 posts)Lindsey had no idea he was going to be talking to an honest Republican who takes his job seriously and plans to *gasp* do his job properly. It's probably been so long since he encountered the like, he just assumed otherwise. Whoops! And we are all (except Lindsey and trump) so pleasantly surprised!
