The NC State Board of Elections has refused to certify the 9th District House results that had Republican Mark Harris ahead of Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes. They did so because of multiple allegations of voting irregularities in and around Bladen County. Harris carried Bladen County by 1,557 votes.

Well- looks like we finally found our voter fraud! On the plus side for Dims, Demmies, the Democrat Party or whatever else Fox calls them these days- this is one less vote Pelosi needs to win SOH.


I imagine this is why Ryan was keyed up about the possibility of ballot farming in CA.


Oh the irony!

I don't know what you're talking about.

They found the irregularities with the Republican. Someone was offered $40,000 to make sure that the Republican won.

"In this year’s primary, Harris won 437 absentee votes in Bladen to 17 for GOP incumbent Rep. Robert Pittenger. This month Harris won 420 absentee votes to McCready’s 258."

There is doubt around not only the general election, but also the primary where Rep. Pittenger was unseated by Harris, who thus won the Republican nomination. Apparently the result in Bladen County was far out of sync with the rest of the district, and it looks very suspicious when a challenger is beating an incumbent by over a 25:1 ratio like this. Pittenger was a pretty standard conservative Republican, and not among those who got on Trump's radar for an apostasy of some kind.

Did you even read the problem?

Here, let me help you out:

In at least six affidavits obtained by WSOC-TV, some witnesses described overhearing a local political operative working on behalf of Harris — Leslie McRae Dowless — saying he hired 80 people to do "absentee" for the Harris campaign, and would receive a $40,000 cash bonus if Harris won.

...

Bladen County not only had the highest rate of votes that came from absentee ballots at 22%, compared to no more than 1.6% in any of the other counties in the district, but Harris won 96% of the absentee ballots from Bladen, compared to 62% of absentee ballots from other counties.
But then, considering that it looks like the republicans committed the fraud here, it's no wonder you won't want it investigated.

And BTW, the board is bipartisan:

Quote:
The Bipartisan State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement (State Board) is the state agency charged with the administration of the elections process, as well as campaign finance, ethics and lobbying disclosure and compliance.

The agency, created in 2017 by the General Assembly, resulted from the merger of the former State Board of Elections, State Ethics Commission and the Lobbying Compliance Division of the Secretary of State’s Office.

The agency is overseen by a nine-member board – four Democrats, four Republicans and a member not affiliated with either of those parties. State Board staff is based in the Dobbs Building on North Salisbury Street in downtown Raleigh.

And furthermore it voted 7-2 against certifying the results.
