Fresh off a surprisingly pedestrian election win on November 3, Lindsey Graham has decided to take on a new role: The most aggressive enforcer of the idea that President Donald Trump maybe - just maybe! - didn't lose the 2020 election. https://zenodo.org/communities/oraykadut21/

In recent days, the South Carolina Republican has reached out to election officials in at least three states - Georgia, Arizona and Nevada - to inquire about the process by which, among other things, signatures are verified on mail-in ballots. https://zenodo.org/communities/thewitches21/
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, told CNN that Graham had called him to urge the removal of ballots amid the ongoing hand recount in the state. "I got the sense it implied that then you could throw those out for any, if you look at the counties with the highest frequent error of signatures," Raffensperger told CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Monday night. "So that's the impression that I got."

Graham told CNN that Raffensperger's allegations was "ridiculous." But a staffer for the Georgia secretary of state affirmed Raffensperger's version of events to CNN on Tuesday. https://zenodo.org/record/4278308#.X7SdGNwzbIW
"What I heard was basically discussions about absentee ballots and if a potentially … if there was a percentage of signatures that weren't really, truly matching, is there some point we could get to, we could say somebody went to a courtroom could say, 'Well, let's throw (out) all these ballots because we have no way of knowing because the ballots are separated,' " said Georgia election implementation manager Gabriel Sterling.
