Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that he would investigate “all credible allegations of voting irregularities and misconduct” after receiving a sworn affidavit from a Pennsylvania postal worker alleging officials devised a plan to backdate mail ballots.
The senator’s remarks came less than two hours after The Associated Press and other news outlets officially projected Joe Biden and Kamala Harris the winners in the race for White House.
President Trump has since refused to concede, repeating his claims without evidence that there have been several cases of voter fraud as part of a Democratic effort to steal the election from him.
In a press release, Graham stated that he had received a sworn affidavit from the Trump campaign provided by Richard Hopkins, a postal worker from Erie, Pa.
In the affidavit, Hopkins alleges that Erie Postmaster Robert Weisenbach told workers he was “back-dating the postmarks on the ballots to make it appear as though the ballots had been collected on November 3, 2020 despite them in fact being collected on November 4 and possibly later.”
The Supreme Court ruled on Monday that the Keystone State could count mail-in ballots that are received as late as Friday of this week as long as they were postmarked on Nov. 3, Election Day.
In response, Graham wrote in the release that “it is imperative that all credible allegations of voting irregularities and misconduct be investigated to ensure the integrity of the 2020 elections.”
“The presidential election remains close in multiple states, and as Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, all credible allegations of voting irregularities and misconduct will be taken seriously,” he continued. “I will not allow credible allegations of voting irregularities or misconduct to be swept under the rug.”
The top Republican lawmaker added that he would be “calling on the Department of Justice to investigate these claims.”
“I’ll also be in contact with the Postmaster General, requesting he to look into these allegations, ones that may follow, and help secure the testimony of Mr. Hopkins,” Graham continued.
“Every American should want our election processes to work accurately, and given the recency of such a large volume of mail-in voting, that will require oversight,” Graham added. “Election outcomes are not determined by media outlets but certified, accurate vote counts.”
What do Freepers think will happen?
You spelled FRAUD incorrectly.
If his record of a Kavanaugh investigation is an example then fuggetaboutit.
“President Trump has since refused to concede, repeating his claims without evidence...”
That may not age well once the case gets to court.
He wrote a half million check.
What the #### did the other republicans do except some called for him to concede.
The Hill ALWAYS slips in the line “without evidence ...” about numerous scandals
The media need to be objective for once.
And a dog needs to go a day without licking its privates.
Please look at this, this looks like a data injection in to the Dominion system 100k votes? how is that even possible.
Seize all of the logs, ballet site, sos and Frankfort! Please pass on to Sidney Powell, I can’t get a twitter account.

Graham, I appreciate your limp wristed support of the President in his most dire hour. I guess it is more than McCain would have done
Can you contact the Trump campaign?
I don’t want to get banned. I try not to do political stuff on twitter and keep a low profile.
Lindsay Graham will investigate? I bet the Dems are shaking in their boots.
Joe Biden will celebrate his 78th birthday on November 20th.
He’ll be 82 in 2024 - and if he gets another 4 years he would be 86!!!!!
“Another ‘vow’ from Lindsey to investigate wrongdoing...”
BullCrap.
LG another coverup smoke screen investigate for 2 years spend 4 million dollars and come up with nothing. The washington generals clean up squad.
I doubt Biden is healthy enough to stay in office. Wouldn’t surprise me if he steps aside, not long after, should they let this stolen election nonsense continue.
Joe Biden is obviously not a healthy individual.
Notice they claim that it is the “news” organizations that OFFICIALLY declare who wins any election.
Pure Twaddle.
TRUMP WON
Don’t be fooled. Don’t let anybody steal your vote, don’t let anybody steal the language. I see a lot of folks torture themselves watching the “news” programs. Do you know why they call it programming? The big media outlets have decided that they alone can decide this, apparently.
He’ll get right on it, starting November 31 2027.
In the meantime, he’ll write a letter and hold a press scrum.
>>>Lindsay Graham will investigate? I bet the Dems are shaking in their boots.<<<
He forgot to tell us to “stand by . . .”
“Lindsay Graham vows that he’s not gonna like scrubbing the Senate toilets for Schumer.”
