Not More Drama

So who are you going to believe?

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, when he says that one of President Trump’s most reliable allies pressured him to throw out legitimate votes during a laborious hand recount of ballots in a state that Joe Biden won by a nose? Or Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) who says that he was doing nothing of the sort when the two of them talked last Friday? [WaPo]

Well. So Trump’s favorite lickspittle tries to, well, interfere in another State’s ballot counting effort. It’s quite probably illegal to suggest the Secretary of State should toss out votes because they happen to be for the wrong person. I’d also take offense if I was Mr. Raffensperger.

But who’d take him to court? The Feds? Or the State of Georgia? If convicted in State court, would Senator Graham (R-SC) lose his seat?

I can’t believe it, but this feels like yet another opportunity for Graham’s opponent in the just-finished election, Jaime Harrison (D-SC).

But I’m sure Graham will find something to hide behind. Or he’ll try to bluster his way out of it. Or never visit Georgia.
