House won't seat North Carolina Republican amid ongoing election fraud dispute

When Democrats assume the House majority on Jan. 3, the chamber won't seat a North Carolina Republican who claimed victory after a tight race but whose campaign is now under investigation for potential election fraud.

Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md., the incoming House majority leader, told Charlotte television station WSOC on Friday that ongoing probes into election fraud need to continue before a winner can be certified.

“Given the now well-documented election fraud that took place in NC09 Democrats would object to any attempt by Mr. [Mark] Harris to be seated on Jan. 3," Hoyer said. "In this instance, the integrity of our democratic process outweighs concerns about the seat being vacant at the start of the new Congress.”

The move comes after North Carolina earlier Friday dissolved its elections board. That means the new Congress will open up next Thursday without a certified winner for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, in the south-central part of the state.

North Carolina better schedule another election, pronto.

If they don't, the House is gonna pick the democrat-communist as "the victor"...

House won't seat North Carolina Republican amid ongoing election fraud dispute

Trying to remember the last time a dim was not seated in a close race due to election regularities. 

That question answered itself pretty easily

From another more detailed source this appears:

Woodhouse told CNN that the three-judge panel recognized that the board of elections, led by Malcolm, "was going to just continue a never-ending fishing expedition."
He predicted that the federal court would order the state of North Carolina to certify the November results.

I wonder how Steny Hoyer can confidently claim that the House will not seat the winner if the state of North Carolina itself certifies him as the winner.

That would be the House Democrat majority not only usurping the federal courts but also a state's election prerogatives. If the Dems get their way on this, then there is no need for any more elections at all.
