Sen. Lind­sey Gra­ham called on the Depart­ment of Jus­tice and the US Postal Ser­vice to inves­ti­gate a Penn­syl­va­nia whistleblower’s claims of a scheme to add ille­gal post­marks to late mail-in ballots.

“As Chair­man of the Sen­ate Judi­cia­ry Com­mit­tee … I will not allow alle­ga­tions of vot­ing irreg­u­lar­i­ties and mis­con­duct to be swept under the rug,” Gra­ham said in a state­ment issued by his Sen­ate campaign.

The South Car­oli­na sen­a­tor, who won a hot­ly con­test­ed re-elec­tion bat­tle this week, said he has received a sworn affi­davit from Richard Hop­kins, a postal work­er in Erie, Penn., who says his super­vi­sors planned to back­date bal­lots that were mailed too late to be count­ed under Penn­syl­va­nia law.
