RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Republican candidate in North Carolina’s unresolved congressional race has acknowledged owing $34,310 to a political consultant subpoenaed in a ballot fraud probe, according to a federal campaign filing that refers to work at the heart of the investigation.

The Mark Harris campaign listed its debt to the Red Dome Group in a late Thursday filing with the Federal Election Commission. The form said the nature of the debt included “Reimbursement Payment for Bladen Absentee” and “Reimbursement Door to Door.”

Bladen County’s absentee ballots are at the center of a fraud probe that has prompted the North Carolina Elections Board to refuse to certify Harris as the winner over Democrat Dan McCready. The board cited allegations of “irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities” involving mail-in ballots, and subpoenaed both the Harris campaign and Red Dome for documents.

The board could order a new election after meeting later this month to consider the evidence. For now, the vote count remains unofficial, with Harris leading McCready by 905 votes.

1. So Harris was paying for this "ballot harvesting?"

Lock 'em up.

2. Nothing to see here......move along.

Seriously!?!?

They coded the payment as “Reimbursement Payment for Bladen Absentee”

Pretty blatant. Guess they thought they wouldn’t be caught. Not even trying to hide it!

3. Given what happened in GA the other day, I really hope this doesn't go to a re-vote ...

I don't think re-votes favor our side much. The Election Board, should fraud be proven (and it DAMN sure looks like it happened) should set a precedent here and award the election to the person who OBEYED THE LAW, and not even give the CRIMINAL ... another chance.

In fact I'll be F'ing PISSED if fraud is proven, and it gets sent to a re-vote anyway. That would be BS, in the extreme. The Pastor should be going to JAIL, not be getting another shot.
