NC 9th CD Midterm Voter Fraud Case Decided: New Election Called with Unanimous Decision

GOP Candidate Mark Harris in Tears Watching Son Testify

(Son said fraud was obvious)

Very good news from RALEIGH, NC (NBC News) — The NC Board of Elections has ordered a new election in the 9th Congressional District after allegations of illegal activity in the handling of mail-in ballots. The five-member board's unanimous action came after several days of hearings into Republican ballot-collecting practices in the 2018 general election.

Their decision was made after the GOP candidate, Mark Harris, surprisingly suggested that there should be a new election because the public had lost confidence in the results. On Election Day Harris had narrowly topped Democrat Dan McCready in unofficial results, as he said: “Through the testimony I listened to over the past three days, I believe a new election should be called. It's become clear to me that the public's confidence in the ninth district seat general election has been undermined to an extent that a new election is warranted.”

It was a dramatic turn for Harris who had been aggressively defending himself throughout the months-long investigation and the four-day hearing, insisting that he had no knowledge of fraudulent activity involving absentee ballots in two rural counties in the ninth district.

My 2 cents: The right and proper decision.

Possible outcome: The DEMS will gain another seat, and the NC GOP will be in the shïttër for years to come – congrats. Mark Harris (the previous GOP candidate) is done.

Thanks for stopping by.
