This North Carolina Election Stinks to High Heaven (NC-9) - Esquire / Charles Pierce
An analysis by Catawba College political scientist Michael Bitzer suggested more aberrations. In seven of the eight counties in the 9th District, for example, McCready won a lopsided majority of the mailed-in absentee ballots. But not in Bladen County. There, Republican Mark Harris won 61 percent even though registered Republicans accounted for only 19 percent of the countys accepted absentee ballots.
Unaffiliated voters accounted for 39 percent. Bitzer said Harris margin could potentially come from all those unaffiliated voters. But to have each and every one of those unaffiliated voters vote Republican, thats pretty astonishing, he added. If thats the case, theres a very concerted effort to use that method to one candidates advantage. . . . But at that level theres something else beyond a concerted effort that could be at work.

You would *think* that something big would be done about this (above and beyond the non-certification of the results), but it looks like this has been happening for quite some time...
