Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger claimed that some Republicans, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsay Graham, had asked him amid a statewide ballot recount whether Raffensperger had the ability to exclude legally cast ballots, according to the Washington Post.

Raffensperger, a Republican, described facing pressure from within his party about voting results and the security of the election in Georgia, which President-elect Joe Biden narrowly won by approximately 14,000 votes, the Post reported.

Raffensperger said he also had spoken Friday with Graham, and that Graham allegedly seemed to hint that he should throw away legal ballots, a characterization that Graham denied.

“That’s ridiculous … Not at all,” Graham said, when asked about the conversation and whether he made such a suggestion to Raffensperger, a spokesperson told the Daily Caller. “What I’m trying to find out was how do you verify signatures for mail in ballots in these states.”

Graham thought that they had a “good conversation” and was surprised to hear that Raffensperger had characterized it the way he did.

This is highly unlikely.  Raffensperger is up for election in 2 years, and he needs to be primaried, along with their useless clod of a governor.
