Jack, in the past year, Democrat Jaime Harrison received a tsunami of small donations, totaling a record-breaking $86 million to defeat Lindsey Graham, forcing Graham to appear almost nightly on Fox News to beg the audience for money. He even used the Senate Judiciary Committee pulpit during a hearing on Amy Coney Barrett’s Supreme Court nomination to complain about all the money, issuing a plea for donations to help him because he was delivering the Barrett nomination to the Senate, despite the public outcry. It was not only pathetic, but it might have run afoul of the law, which “prohibits soliciting or receiving campaign contributions on federal property.”

In short, Graham and McConnell underestimated YOU and our collective rage.

In fact, Graham is so upset at the record donations that came into the South Carolina race that he has indicated he wants an investigation after the election. In an interview with The Hill, Graham whined, “Where’s all this money coming from ActBlue coming from? How easy would it be to just have a bunch of pre-paid credit cards?”

Yes, Lindsey Graham, I suppose it is entirely possible a shadowy, powerful Black Lives Matter foundation with secret billions in the bank loaded up pre-paid ‘antifa’ cards and made tens of thousands of $37 donations (the average Harrison donation), one at a time, to unseat you.

Why can’t Lindsey Graham just accept that not only is he personally deeply unpopular, but so is the Republican agenda? It isn’t like we didn’t try to tell him. We called his offices. We showed up at town halls. We showed up in Washington, D.C. We even chased him in airports when he refused to hear us anywhere else. But he will hear us at the ballot box on Nov. 3 and so will his corrupted colleagues. And even if Lindsey Graham survives this challenge, we will be back for the next. You can take that to the bank.

In the meantime, let’s keep pissing off Lindsey Graham with our small donations. Our Daily Kos Elections team has compiled a list of 17 state legislative candidates from Arizona, Texas, North Carolina, and Michigan who need the most help as we head down the final stretch. Sure it feels good to donate to Lindsey’s demise, but these races are every bit as critical or even more so than South Carolina’s because these state legislatures control the boundaries of congressional districts, something Republicans have successfully used to slice and dice our blue districts, gerrymandering our states into Republican-controlled havens that give people like Lindsey Graham undue power over the majority.

Can you kick-in $1 each for these state legislative candidates, and piss off Lindsey Graham?

Afterward, you can send Lindsey Graham a copy of your donation as evidence for his “investigation” at [email protected]. Bless his heart.

Keep fighting,
