It’s time to STAND UP

Tennesseans elected us as their Senators to represent their views and values. Which is why @BillHagertyTN and I have concluded without any reservation that we will stand against tainted electoral results from the recent Presidential election.

Electoral Process

10:36 AM

Proposing a commission at this late date – which has zero chance of becoming reality – is not effectively fighting for President Trump.

It appears to be more of a political dodge than an effective remedy. https://t.co/4bIT1J36cL

I do look forward to hearing from and will listen closely to the objections of my colleagues in challenging the results of this election.

They will need to provide proof of the charges they are making.

— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 3, 2021

10:38 AM

They will also need to provide clear and convincing evidence that the failure to act – in both the state and federal courts and the states legislatures which investigated these claims – was made in error.

— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 3, 2021

10:39 AM

They will also need to show that the failure to take corrective action in addressing election fraud changed the outcome of these states’ votes and ultimately the outcome of the election.

— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) January 3, 2021

10:40 AM

My colleagues will have the opportunity to make this case, and I will listen closely. But they have a high bar to clear.

11:44 AM

Two presidential elections in a row, a large portion of the public hasn't accepted the result.

This is not a sustainable state of affairs.

I support a special commission to investigate and report on allegations of irregularities before the Electoral College vote is certified.

How can you certify an election when the numbers being certified are verifiably WRONG. You will see the real numbers tonight during my speech, but especially on JANUARY 6th. @SenTomCotton Republicans have pluses & minuses, but one thing is sure, THEY NEVER FORGET!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 4, 2021

9:45 AM

The “Surrender Caucus” within the Republican Party will go down in infamy as weak and ineffective “guardians” of our Nation, who were willing to accept the certification of fraudulent presidential numbers!

Why will there be objections on #JAN6?

Because election irregularities demand investigation.@newsmax @stinchfield1776 pic.twitter.com/G6vQ2vKQWb

The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors.

For nine weeks, Democrats have been afraid to have a real debate on election integrity.

Why? pic.twitter.com/n3hcoOi4rS

If Vice President @Mike_Pence comes through for us, we will win the Presidency. Many States want to decertify the mistake they made in certifying incorrect & even fraudulent numbers in a process NOT approved by their State Legislatures (which it must be). Mike can send it back!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 6, 2021

7:17 AM

States want to correct their votes, which they now know were based on irregularities and fraud, plus corrupt process never received legislative approval. All Mike Pence has to do is send them back to the States, AND WE WIN. Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!

Joint Session of Congress

1:23 PM

I rise on the Senate Floor today because our democracy is in crisis. We have an obligation to protect the integrity of our elections, and that's why I am calling for an Electoral Commission to conduct an emergency audit to examine voter fraud allegations. pic.twitter.com/FiJh6emFWx
