Lindsey Graham Declares Fraud in Nevada (This means we are going to win)

Lindsey Graham Declares Fraud in Nevada

"SNIP.......

Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-SC) went so far as to suggest fraud in Nevada if Adam Laxalt (R) isn’t declared the winner of the U.S. Senate race, Politico reports.

Said Graham: “There is no mathematical way Laxalt loses. If he does, then it’s a lie.”

“No evidence of election fraud has emerged and independent analysts have been expecting Cortez Masto to take the lead for days based on the number of outstanding mail votes in the most Democratic part of the state.”


.....


Taegan Goddard:

Graham is apparently not very good at math — or he’s lying.

That little shit dragged the country through the sewer in his 7+ years and > 77 million $ B.J.
hunt that let Osama bin Laden get away and hurt Al Gore enough to make the election close
enough to steal which gave us w and that gave us 9/11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, bin Laden
getting away for a second time, ISIS, one of the biggest refugee problems of all time, Ohio 2004,
5 stolen seats on the SCOTUS, bush v Gore, a huge recession, and this little boy dead on a

Poor old Lindsay will be the last one to abandon the Trump garbage scow. He should probably consider retiring soon - he’s worn out his welcome in polite society.

No candidate will ever win a majority if one of the choices is "None of these."

accountable and suffer the consequences of their actions or words. Why should Graham not be held accountable for his harmful and treasonous words. A person in his position of power utters words he knows are not true and undermines the foundation of free and fair elections should be held accountable and suffer the consequences. And, I don't consider voting him out of office as sufficient accountability. Thanks to Murdoch, all notions of decency and good faith have been tossed out the car window. I'm so damn sick of these bastards getting away with intentionally spreading blatant lies to their weak-minded constituents.
