NC 9th election results held up for investigation into voter fraud
By Rick Moran
The North Carolina elections board has refused to certify the results of the 9th district congressional race between Republican Mark Harris and Democrat Dan McCready, that Harris won by 905 votes. The board cites "irregularities" in the absentee ballot process as the major reason.
The board voted 9-0 not to certify the results with both Republicans and Democrats agreeing that the results needed to be investigated.
Charlotte Observer:
The man at the center of speculation about the alleged activities, McCrae Dowless, was paid by the Harris campaign as a contractor for the candidate’s top consultant.
In a letter to the chairman of the state elections board, Democratic Party attorney John Wallace urged the board to delay certification beyond Friday’s scheduled meeting.
“After pulling the fire alarm on Tuesday, the State Board cannot in good conscience certify the election three days later, when so much smoke continues to hang over this election,†he wrote.
Wallace went on to say a review of public records “confirms that serious irregularities and improprieties may have occurred.†Bladen County had the highest percentage of absentee ballot requests in the state. There, 7.5 percent of registered voters requested absentee ballots. In most counties it was less than 3 percent.
An analysis by Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer suggested more aberrations.
