"If Republicans don't challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again," Graham said Sunday on Fox News. "President Trump should not concede. We're down to less — 10,000 votes in Georgia. He's going to win North Carolina. We have gone from 93,000 votes to less than 20,000 votes in Arizona, where more — more votes to be counted."

Trump has said he will not concede, alleging widespread voter fraud led to tens of thousands of illegal ballots being cast against him.
The Trump campaign has provided no evidence to back up the president's claims.
Biden, in a victory speech on Saturday evening, promised to work as hard for Americans who voted against him as those who voted for him.
Graham, one of Trump's closest allies on Capitol Hill and the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, won reelection in a tightly contested race of his own, the most expensive in U.S. Senate history.
"What happened? The Trump team has canvassed all early voters and absentee mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, and they have found over 100 people they think were dead but 15 people that we verified that have been dead who voted," Graham alleged. "Here is the one that gets me: Six people registered after they died and voted. In Pennsylvania, I guess you're never out of it."
Other Republicans in Congress have suggested Trump should give up and let the Republican Party enter its next chapter.

The Trump campaign has filed lawsuits in several key battleground states that Biden won asking local judges to either invalidate or stop counting mail-in ballots, a record number of which were cast in this year's election due to the coronavirus pandemic.
So change your ideas and positions shit head.
A few years ago Lindsay Graham was a fairly respected US Senator, now he is just a clown who sold his soul to trumpism. There is a special place in hell awaiting Lindsay Graham.
I knew he was an idiot, just didn't know how much of an idiot.
He's a bit weird IMO. Republicans don't like him.
He never keeps his word...and changes unpredictably:
(Watch from 0 to o:56
Since this ad I believe he's shifted his position-- and may again.
Lindsey I'm afraid to point out is correct & wrong at the same time.
Sooner or later I will get it through Lindsey's thick head that Trump was just an angry Democrat his whole life.
He only said he was a Republican to take advantage of the system and was probably stunned to win. He killed the GOP from the inside.
Trump can have NC, there won't be enough votes to get Donald to 270.
He pretends to be with whoever sucks his tiny dick.
Democrats do not respond well to lying, racist, misogynistic, homophobic, cowardly, draft dodging, con men. He wouldn't have made it through the primaries as a Democrat.
Graham wants to change the U.S. Election system? Bravo!!! Do away with the electoral college and make America a democracy where every person's vote counts equally. The Democrats are bound to agree.
You're right again, Lindsay. Trump should not concede. He should piss on the gracious custom that has been followed for so many decades for the rest of the world to see, and be run out of the White House like this...
Ah do believe Miss Lindsey is havin' tha vapahs !
I think Miss Lindsey is afraid of losing her influence he has enjoyed with Trump once McCain was gone. I don't think Biden will be as willing to fall for a two-faced liar like Trump.
Tonight's theme is skank for all the trumpy women. So in keeping with this theme I am hereby calling Lindsey a skank
"Lindsey Graham: If Trump Concedes Election, Republicans Will 'Never' Elect Another President"
Hey, Lindsey, is that a promise?
