Lindsey Graham says Democrats' push to count all votes is proof they want to 'steal' the election

“They are trying to steal this election. It’s not going to work."

ADRIENNE MAHSA VARKIANI NOV 10, 2018, 11:09 AM

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) seems to believe that Democrats’ insistence that all votes be counted is a sign of them trying to “steal” the election in Florida.

“They are trying to steal this election,” Graham said on Fox News’ Hannity Friday evening. “It’s not going to work.”

Graham appeared on the show to discuss the Florida elections, where Republican candidate for Senate Rick Scott is leading the Democratic candidate, Bill Nelson, by less than 15,000 votes, a difference of less than .25 percent and thus qualifying for a hand recount. Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis was leading Democratic candidate Andrew Gillum by just over 36,000 votes, a difference of just 0.44 percent and qualifying for a machine recount. No winner has yet been declared in either state.

That hasn’t stopped Scott from claiming that “left-wing activists” are coming up with ballots “out of nowhere,” as the Tallahassee Democrat reported.

Republican lawmakers seem to be increasingly implying that voting counts is the same as stealing an election. On Friday, President Donald Trump said that there was “theft” in the Florida elections and “electoral corruption” in the Arizona elections, two other states where votes are still being counted.

Is not Democratic and is un-american . People like this have no place in OUR government. If its proven he's been involved with trump undermining our government,, this should not be forgotten, and the harshest penalties should apply to people like this.
