NC Board Of Elections Concludes 9th District Election 'Corrupted,' 'Tainted'

The board had harsh words specifically for the campaign of Republican Mark Harris.

“The Harris Committee failed to comply fully with the lawful subpoenas by this Board, and that such non-compliance contributes to cumulative doubt cast on the congressional election,” they wrote.

A new election is a partial win for the cheaters. Reverse the outcome. It's the only way to correct the injury.

And I live in NC, but not in that district. If a sports team was caught cheating, they would default and their opponent would automatically win. It should be the same in elections!
