In North Carolina, Investigators Find Ballot 'Scheme' in House Race

A North Carolina elections regulator said Monday that "a coordinated, unlawful and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme" potentially involving more than 1,000 absentee ballots or request forms took place last year in the state's Ninth Congressional District.

The regulator, Kim Strach, the executive director of the North Carolina State Board of Elections, gave the first account of investigators' conclusions at a hearing in Raleigh that could determine the fate of the Ninth District race after allegations of widespread fraud.

The Republican nominee, Mark Harris, has a 905-vote lead over his Democratic rival, Dan McCready, but state officials last year refused to certify Mr. Harris as the winner because of concerns about "irregularities" in absentee balloting.

I wonder if there will be a new election?

 

[SummerMadness]

It depends. They have a 5-person panel where they need 4 people to certify or call for a new election. The panel is three Democrats and two Republicans, so a party-line vote either way results in a stalemate. If that happens, it then goes to the Housekf Representatives, and we know what the result would be there, they would vote to keep the seat vacant. In that case you would have a new special election.

You'd think after all the reporting on voting shenanigans in NC that they'd wise up and stop.

I wonder if there will be prison terms for those involved.

For alleged voter fraud in the Republicans' favor? Surely you jest.

They really wanted to prove voter fraud was a problem, so they went ahead and did it themselves. Probably to own the libs.

On the other hand, the fact that they got caught shows the system is working...

...on the other other hand, the number of indictments, guilty pleas, and convictions in the current administration alone shows they're not very talented at hiding their crimes... God protect us from competent criminals.

...on the other other other hand... I need more hands.

It would be nice if there were some investigation of the vote scandals affecting the outcome of several races in California, but that wont happen because its a one-party state. The point is that our system of free elections is under threat through a number of different schemes, and most people have no awareness of it.

What about California? What about the 3 million Mexicans that voted for Clinton? What about Georgia (the state, not the country)?

We finally get some real honest to goodness vote fraud and you’re still not happy.

Tell that to Duncan Hunter. And Devin Nunes. And Ken Calvert. And Kevin McCarthy. And Paul Cook. And Tom McClintock. And Doug LaMalfa.
