Republican Senator Lindsey Graham
The Washington Post revealed what it described as a “blatant” intervention by Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who “lobbied” Georgia Secretary of State Brad Ravensberger, who is also a member of the Republican Party, to dissuade him from completing the split. of the ongoing vote count. .
Ravensberger explained to the newspaper that other leaders of the spectrum of the Republican Party still urge him to “neglect” the legal voting cards, accusing them of the manufacturer of the voting devices, “Dominion”, of “leftist, and has relations with Venezuela.”
But on October 7, Graham said “it is essential that all valid allegations of voting irregularities be investigated to ensure the integrity of the elections.”
It is noteworthy that US law considers interference in the electoral process “regarding the modification of its results” as a crime for which its owner will be prosecuted.
This comes at a time, US media said on Friday, that Democrat Joe Biden, who won the US presidential election, won in Georgia, garnering 306 of the electoral college votes (538).
Earlier, the US state of Georgia announced a manual recount after noticing a very small margin between President Donald Trump and his Democratic rival, Joe Biden.
Georgia’s Secretary of State for the local government, Brad Ravensberger, told a news conference: “In mathematical terms, we actually have to manually perform a full count of all votes, because the margin between Trump and Biden is very close.” .
The outgoing president, Donald Trump, won North Carolina and received 232 votes in the electoral college, so the results would have appeared from all the American states.
Notably, the Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, won the November 7 presidential election, after getting Pennsylvania votes and winning 273 in the electoral college, surpassing the 270 votes he needed to win.
Trump did not admit defeat after the results were announced, citing electoral fraud and accusing Democrats of it.
