On 2/9/21 at 5:49 AM EST
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) are facing potential censure from the Republican Party in Aiken County, South Carolina, because they did not oppose President Joe Biden s election win.
The county GOP is due to discuss censuring the senators at its Thursday meeting, though nothing has yet been decided. Several local Republican parties have recently passed motions of censure against elected officials.
Graham and Scott refused to object to the Electoral College votes from Pennsylvania and Arizona on January 6. Both men voted against the objections raised by Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Josh Hawley (R-MO).
