Remember the North Carolina congressional fiasco?

The phony "preacher" and his vote-altering crony are out.

But this guy is in for the GOP, and he is a real doozy!

Mark Harris thought he was going to be a Congressman. After election day in North Carolina's 9th District, he was ahead by 905 votes.

Then his campaign was caught executing a systemic election fraud operation. In an attempt to parry the allegations, Harris put himself at risk of perjury and obstruction of justice charges. The North Carolina election board ordered a new election and Harris, citing health concerns, said he would not run.

But before Harris faded into the sunset, he had one last thing to say: For the new election, he was endorsing Stony Rushing.

Rushing, a county commissioner, quickly gained notoriety for featuring a picture of himself dressed like Boss Hogg, the villain from The Dukes of Hazzard, on his campaign Facebook page.

A rich, corrupt politician who, along with his lackeys, is constantly at odds with people who are considered the heroic, everyday people of the community.

Makes sense.
