Lindsey Graham asked whether Raffensperger had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures, Raffensperger said. Raffspenger said he was stunned that Graham appeared to suggest that he find a way to toss legally cast ballots.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says he has come under increasing pressure from fellow Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, to question the validity of legally cast absentee ballots in an effort to reverse Trump's loss.

(1,648 posts)Blathers all of their secrets on Twitter and in his feigned attempts to still seem relevant press/media appearances... After all, since the news media cuts away from him, he just has to say more shocking things to get their attention and be on tv. Hopefully tRUMP gets mad enough to spill the beans on everything Republicans have done for years to steal elections and screw the American People.

The polling places in GA have BMDs which produce a "ballot" which is NOT hand marked, and is the equivalent of the DREs that were finally decertified due to lawsuits by coalitionforgoodgovernance.org. The BMDs produce barcodes which are then "tabulated" -- and how many times have people been to Target and found that the shelf price did not match what the barcode price was on the receipt??!!

Too bad we don't live in that world.

(42,862 posts)... they can't stand the son of a bitch and they have so many choice words for him that would get me in trouble if I repeated them. But I guess they're "allowed" to speak their minds and verbalize the things that everyone thinks about him anyway.
They make me laugh sometimes when they put on an exaggerated southern accent in order to mock him with dialogue that we can easily imagine him saying in the privacy of his own boudoir or in the parlor of his plantation house. It's like he's become a character from Gone With the Wind.

(9,459 posts)Thank goodness that Raffensperger is coming forward with this information. If Kemp was still Georgia Secretary of State, it would just have been done right after the election, Biden would have lost Georgia, and we would never have found out about it.
