“I explained our process, after it went through two sets of signature match, at that point they were separated. But then Senator Graham implied for us to audit the envelopes and then throw out the ballots for counties that had the highest frequency errors of signatures,” Raffensperger
"What I heard was basically discussions about absentee ballots, and if a - potentially - if there was a percentage of signatures that weren't really, truly matching, is there some point when you get to where you can say, if somebody went to the courtroom, could say, 'Let’s throw out all these ballots because we have no way of knowing because the ballots are separate.' And that was part partially what was going on," Sterling said. "I could see how Sen. Graham viewed it one way and Secretary Raffensperger viewed it one way. But, you know, our job in this state has to follow the law and follow the process as we continue to do. There's no physical ability for this office to do anything along those lines."
So not what he actually said.
