RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina elections officials looking into ballot fraud in the country’s last undecided congressional election are finding that votes were counted days ahead of Election Day in the rural county at the center of disputed results.

Elections officials also said the election was marred by falsified signatures, blank ballots that consultants could complete and disappearing documents.

The state elections board on Tuesday heard from poll workers who admitted tallying results on the Saturday before Election Day when early, in-person voting ended. That’s contrary to proper practice.

Two poll workers said while they could see who had the early lead in races for the 9th Congressional District and sheriff, they didn’t tell anyone.

Not a prayer that the Election Board certifies this. Only question is whether one of the two Republican members feels embarrassed enough to support a motion to redo the vote.

1. It would be in their best interest to re-run the election.

Otherwise, the House can refuse to seat the person.

4. IIRC the House has already refused to seat him. nt

6. No, because the race hasn't been certified (one way or the other)

House members have made it clear that they will, but it hasn't come up yet

7. Right

I think we are saying the same thing.

He is not seated.

2. Another example of GOP projection. Scream "voter fraud" as they commit election fraud.

Repiglicans are in for a worse shellacking in 2020.

8. Well said.

They're like those grade school bullies that yell "stop hitting yourself" as they hit you with your own hand - but then cry like soiled babies when an adult catches them do it.

10. Lets hope. Us Dems have a way of turning on our own for things like a fart.

3. Here is a textbook example of a

clusterfuck.

5. My question is what about a criminal investigation? I have not heard anything about one.

9. I thought I read where the poll workers counted early absentee votes and did let Harris know

I thought I read where the poll workers counted early absentee votes and did let Harris know what the numbers where.

I think there should be an investigation by the FBI or criminal divisions to see if Harris knew.

Get him under oath.

If he knew then he should be dis qualified.

11. Maybe they can being in the UN for the next vote. At least,

Jimmy Carter.

12. And who really thinks that this kind of rat fuckery was limited to just the 9th Congressional ....

... in North Carolina?

And good old Pastor Harris who hired Mr. Dowless knew nothing about
what was going on because after all he is a man of God.

[diva77]

14. Exactly.

[Botany]

17. The GOP has had "their people" rat fucking w/elections for years.

And to many of those good Christians they justify it by thinking or
saying, "We have to do this or the n*****s will take over."

13. Nothing to see here....everyone move along and keep voting for Republicans...........

[turbinetree]

15. LOCK THEM UP.................................

16. kick

18. Is "contrary to proper practice" the same as "illegal"?

I guess I'm trying to see a fault in counting ballots before election day, either by early voting or by absentee voting. If the ballots are secure, and the counts are accurate and secure, why should it matter when the count starts?

I'm not a lawyer or a politician, just an aging math major. What am I missing? What's the issue?
