Sun Sep 22 17:51:56 UTC 2024: ## Controversial Posts and Electoral College Changes Dominate Political Landscape

**North Carolina:** Republican Senator Lindsey Graham has weighed in on the controversy surrounding North Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is facing allegations of making lewd and offensive posts on a pornographic website over a decade ago. Robinson has denied the allegations, calling them “tabloid trash”, but Graham believes that if the claims are true, Robinson is “unfit to serve”.

Graham urged Robinson to “defend himself” against the accusations, stating that he should “sue the hell out of CNN” if the report is false. He believes that the controversy could impact Robinson’s campaign, as it is “hanging over his head”.

North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, Robinson’s Democratic opponent in the gubernatorial race, accused Robinson of being a product of Donald Trump’s influence, stating that he “could not exist without the support of Donald Trump”. Despite the controversy, Graham believes that the allegations won’t affect Trump’s chances of winning North Carolina in the upcoming election.

**Nebraska:** Senator Graham is pushing for Nebraska to change its Electoral College voting system to a winner-take-all method. Currently, the state splits its three Electoral College votes by congressional district, a method that Graham considers detrimental to Nebraska. He believes that the current system disenfranchises rural voters and could potentially lead to a situation where Vice President Kamala Harris becomes president, which he views as a “disaster” for the state.

Graham, along with Republican Governor Jim Pillen and other Nebraska lawmakers, are lobbying for the change, arguing that it would ensure all voters have their voices heard and align Nebraska with the majority of other states. While the change faces opposition, Graham believes there is a 50/50 chance the law will change before the election.
