After Possible Data Leak, North Carolina Edges Closer to a New Election

The chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party said Tuesday that a new election in the state’s Ninth Congressional District may be necessary after reports that early voter data was improperly leaked by the elections board in Bladen County, where state officials are already investigating possible electoral fraud.

Democrats allege that data was leaked exclusively to Republicans, giving them an advantage before Election Day.

The statement by the chairman, Robin Hayes, appeared to bring state Republicans one step closer to acknowledging that the November election, which their candidate, Mark Harris, had apparently won by 905 votes, may need to be nullified and a new election called.

For a few hours Tuesday, Republican legislators also proposed a measure that would ensure any new election also included a new primary — potentially giving Republicans a chance to replace Mr. Harris. But the language allowing for a new primary was taken out of the legislation by the end of the day.

getting Democrats out to vote for one congressional seat isn't easy. Harris will probably win. We are the party of the single working parent and the union construction worker doing 8 ours then some private work on the side at night. it is tough for us to get out just to vote for one thing.
