GA Sec of State Brad Raffensperger said his office ghosted Lindsey Graham after the senator questioned the state's recount during the 2020 election
Graham claimed he was only calling Raffensperger about issues that were within the scope of his legislative duties as a member of the U.S. Senate. Yet Graham seemed to be prodding Raffensperger to use a different signature verification technique that is decided by the state, not a member of the U.S. Senate. It sounds like Graham wanted Raffensperger to change the way signature verification was done at the state and local level in the hopes that it would yield more votes for Trump and less for Biden.
Whatever Graham was trying to do in GA to make a more favorable outcome of the 2020 election for Trump didn't work. Trump decided to call Raffensperger on Jan. 2 and literally tell him to find him enough votes to make him the winner.
Graham's insertion into GA's business about signature verification is consistent with Trump's unfounded claims about massive voter fraud in the urban areas of GA related to signature verification. Trump wanted to disqualify Biden votes in the urban areas sufficient to make Trump the winner. During his phone call to Raffensperger, Trump ragged on and on about supposed illegal votes supposedly in suit cases under the table that were supposedly handled by election worker Ruby Freeman and supposedly counted three times for tens of thousands of illegal votes for Biden. Trump wanted his attorneys deputized in GA so that they could go through the personal records of citizens in GA to try to find what they thought were illegal voter registrations and throw out those votes for Biden. That phone call was on Jan. 2, a few days before the insurrection at the Capitol. It shows Trump's desperation.
Graham fought the subpoena for him to appear before the special grand jury in GA all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court and lost.
Now we know why Graham didn't want to testify. He went beyond his duties as a senator and became in essence a co-conspirator in an attempt to change the election outcome in Georgia
Trump says he knows everything, including Kushner's cancer. But he says he didn't know the riot that was taking place at the Capitol for three hours down the street from him while his staff and daughter were pleading with him to stop it and while he was watching it on Fox.
