Can our South Carolina brethren shed some light on this question.
Is he cheating like the dems?
Surely no one there likes him huh?

I have no idea. I haven’t voted for him in thirty years.

The whole thing is staged. The only way to prevent fraud is with legitimate turnout, and people are too lazy to be bothered. Half the " votes" counted probabky come from people who didnt even know the DMV auto registered them. Perks of having a list of all the no shows at every precinct.

I think ballot shenanigans have been happening across the board, for many years.
It's also why I think ol Mitch kept winning in the past.

Hard to beat deep state incumbents. The have name recognition and the money . Unfortunately a lot of voters don’t know what they are actually voting for . They don’t research the candidates to see what they really believe.

I haven't voted for him in 20 years and most of my friends in the upstate hate him. He doesn't represent SC. He spends more time each year over seas than he does back home.
SC has open primaries. So a lot of Dems cross over and vote for Miss Lindsey. Plus, there have been few legitimate or competent challengers in the primaries. He hasn't faced a strong challenger. So he wins the primaries by default. So in the general election most people vote for him over the Dem even though he's horrible. So he wins by default. Unfortunately he might only be replaced like Strom Thurmond...

Because South Carolina is never going to elect a Democratic senator and the establishment/Israeli lobby support that Graham receives makes a primary challenger virtually impossible.

Israel Derangement Syndrome. So they helped get McCain, Schumer, Pelosi, Bush, Reagan, Carter, Obama, Biden, and all of them elected. Genius strategy, that.
It's the same retirees, particularly veterans in both SC and AZ that keep getting RINOs and warmongers like him elected. "Well he served, so I can trust him," or "he's done so good for this state," while ignoring ways they both screwed the country.

Why does your state keep electing incumbents?
Same reasons.

Just because a relatively tiny, yet very loud, group of anonymous posters on an internet message board rant and rage about Lindsey Graham being this, that and the other thing, doesn’t mean it’s actually a popular sentiment all over the place. In fact, I’d say this board is far, far from an accurate representation of the greater “real world” outside of this board.

For the love of God, vote Paul Dans for Senate, South Carolina!

Look at our history with our US Senators. For some reason we act like they are SC justices and get elected for life.
Our last 2 were Fritz Hollins that was there for decades and Strom Thurmond who was a Senator for around 100 years.

In 2008, as soon as McCain made it through to SC, I knew we were losing the general election based on old people and vets ETA (in SC.)

I'm convinced South Carolina has the worst elected officials of any red state in the nation. From the state to the fed they all suck. 9 billion spent on a nuclear facility starting in 2017 and 0 energy produced. 1.8 billion goes missing from state budget and then it turns out it was an accounting mistake??? LOL. Governor goes missing on hiking trip to South America but is there conducting an affair with a foreign journalist. Niki Haley pushes through dredging of Savannah River that hurts port of Charleston. The state legislature is run by used car salemen and trial lawyers. Look it up.

I'll raise you Addison Mitchell McConnell.

Unfortunately, the American voter is dumb, and will vote for whoever's name they hear the most and face they see the most on TV.
In order to achieve that, lots of money is required. The party provides their handpicked candidate plenty of money.
