The Associated Press is retracting its call of a winner for U.S. House in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.

The AP had called the race for Republican Mark Harris on Nov. 9, after Democrat Dan McCready conceded the election and said he would not request a recount.

Unofficial results show Harris with a lead of 905 votes out of nearly 283,000 votes counted.

The North Carolina board of elections has delayed certifying the results, citing “claims of irregularities and fraudulent activities related to absentee by-mail voting.”

1. And since the NYT election results page indicated they are using the AP data

they just pulled NC-9 out of a call and put it into a lean R.

2. You know, if they find a significant number of fraudulent ballots,

even if they don't find quite enough to flip the race to the Democrat, how many other fraudulent ballots are out there that weren't discovered? I say the only fair thing to do is throw out the crooks, bring in new people and hold the election over again, from scratch. I will guarantee you if they do it that way the Democrat will win by a significant margin.
