Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThis is a specific factual claim about how Senator Graham came to hold her seat — asserting she was appointed by the governor and president to fill her brother's term, which can be verified against the actual appointment process and records.
What we foundThe governor alone formally appointed Darline Graham; the president recommended her but held no appointment authority.
