"Under the guise of rooting out election fraud, it looks like Graham is suggesting committing it. That is unacceptable, and Senator Graham should step down from his chairmanship immediately," he said.

Walter Shaub, former director of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, said even if Graham's version of the call is a true account it would still appear coercive—also suggesting the Senator should leave his Judiciary Committee post.

"Why is the Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee calling Georgia's Secretary of State to discuss mechanics of an ongoing ballot count? Such a call would be implicitly coercive in the best case, even without Graham's alleged suggestion about throwing out lawful votes," he tweeted.

"Even if one were to accept Graham's version of the story, the call's a scandal that should lead to his immediate resignation. The republic won't survive Senate committee chairs calling election officials from their own party to discuss vote counting before a final verdict."

Sure they can. They just can't pressure them to toss out legitimate ballots.

Well, it's more than a tad sleazy for the representative of one state to try to strong-arm an official of a different state. Maybe the Trumpettes here can point out examples of others doing that.

Nah, they'll just say Biden would do the same if the shoe were on the other foot, without providing any evidence to support that.
