Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) rejected claims that he sought to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to throw out legally-cast ballots.
Raffensperger told The Washington Post in an interview that Graham asked him whether election officials had the authority to reject mail ballots in counties with higher rates of signature discrepancies. He later told CNN that Graham first asked him “if the ballots could be matched back to the voters,” with Raffensperger adding that his sense of the conversation was that “it was just an implication of, ‘Look hard and see how many ballots you could throw out.’”
