Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Saturday that he will be calling on the Department of Justice and the postmaster general to investigate a U.S. Postal Service whistleblower’s claim about an alleged plot to backdate mail ballots in Pennsylvania.
Graham received a sworn affidavit (pdf) signed under the penalty of perjury from Richard Hopkins, a mail carrier in Erie, Pennsylvania, who claims that the local postmaster, Rob Weisenbach, had instructed U.S. Postal Service (USPS) workers to collect mail ballots they receive after Nov. 3 and hand them over to him to be backdated.
