The Democrat who is contesting the disputed Congressional election in North Carolinas 9th Congressional District is asking for a new election, WSOCs Joe Bruno reported Tuesday.
Dan McCready filed a legal brief with the North Carolina State Board of Elections making the case for a do-over.
During the 2018 election cycle, [Republican] Mark E. Harris personally sought the services of Leslie McCrae Dowless, Jr. because of Dowless proven history of generating a stringkingly high, and downright suspicious, share of absentee-by-mail [ABM] votes for this clients, the filing arugued.
In the 2018 race to represent North Carolinas Ninth Congressional District, evidence indicates that Dowless and his affiliates caused Harriss equally unusual ABM success by conducting a large scale, organized ballot tampering enterprise for Harriss benefit, the filing continued.
Though the full scope of fraudulent activity may never be known, the record makes clear that the results of the entire election are tainted, and its fairness is in doubt, the filing continued.

The last one was outright stolen, making the outcome illegitimate.
North Carolina republicans are emulating banana-republic dictators. If you can't win, cheat. If cheating isn't enough, then just steal and declare yourself the victor. I don't think I have ever seen a more blatant theft of an election short of Russia.
North Carolina's motto ? Esse Quan Videri - which means (in Latin) "To be rather than to seem," which in this context must mean to be a tyranny than to seem a democracy.
