Per South Carolina state law, this is the timeline for replacing Lindsey Graham on the November ballot: -Filing period opens July 21 (2nd Tues after his death) -Closes July 28 -Special primary Aug 11 -Runoff, if necessary, Aug 25 law.justia.com/codes/south-ca…

Notice the pattern between Biden and Platner, because it is the whole story. In both cases, the primary voters made a choice. In both cases, the party decided, after the fact, that the voters had chosen wrong. And in both cases, the same institution that lectures America about authoritarianism and “threats to democracy” moved heaven and earth to override the expressed will of its own electorate the moment that will became inconvenient. The people who cannot stop saying democracy is on the ballot keep discovering, at the decisive moment, that they trust themselves more than the demos. open.substack.com/pub/ewerickson…

From Biden to Platner, it’s been astounding to discover how many officials within the self-appointed ‘Party of Democracy’ view their own *elections* as mere exhibition games — which don’t really count & can simply be nullified once outcomes become politically inconvenient.

The allegations reported today are deeply disturbing. Character and accountability matter regardless of party. It’s time for Graham Platner to drop out and allow for someone else to be nominated and give Democrats the best chance to win this seat in November.
