FINALLY some real fraud. Apparently the staffer was promised a $20,000 bonus if the candidate won, then went door to door just asking for people's absentee ballots and filling them out herself. Oldest trick in the book!!!

E: lol it was actually a $40k bonus

NC-9 House race. Absentee fraud likely occurred in Bladen County. The Republican may have stolen the race outright.

the elections board might not exist after monday lol

quote:

It’s still unclear what will happen next week at the North Carolina State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement, but Republican lawmakers are preparing for “chaos.”

The board, as it’s currently constructed, has nine members, but in October a three-judge panel ruled the board unconstitutional. A stay in the ruling allows the board to operate as is until 11:59 p.m. on Monday. Lawmakers are now angling for a new stay — with or without Gov. Roy Cooper’s approval.

quote:

If the board were to revert back to the way it was in 2016, its lobbying arm would have to go back to the secretary of state’s office and ethics enforcement would fall under the authority of the Ethics Commission — which currently does not exist.

so if im reading this correctly the elections board found massive voter fraud bipartisanishly so a conservative judge is going to dissolve it?????

nah the dissolution order is because the board itself is unconstitutional

it was formed as part of the series of power grab bills the legislature passed in an emergency session after the democrat won the governor's race in 2016, almost all of which have been struck down since

I'm glad this thread is still open so we can talk about the neverending midterms

NC did some voter fraud but fortunately it was only isolated to one county I'm sure

Everything else totally fine and cool in NC and in no way did voter suppression efforts affect anything because if you look there is one county that did do a crime and they will end up just letting it skate anyhow doing democracy

North Carolina is a special and fascinating case here. Basically Virginia was recently enough transformed from red to blue with alarming quickness, and North Carolina has in a lot of ways experienced some of the same demographic change, and was becoming reliably purple.
Now the good ol' boys of a southern GOP state party are not ones to allow nature to take it's course shall we say...

quote:

The chairman of the North Carolina State Board of Elections has resigned.

The Washington Post reported Saturday that Andy Penry has stepped down as leader of the board, saying “he did not want his partisan views to undermine a widening investigation into alleged election fraud in the 9th Congressional District race.”

Efforts to reach Penry were not successful.

Penry, a Democrat, has come under fire from state Republican leaders after his social media posts on Twitter about President Donald Trump suggested the board’s investigation was tilted, they said.

if the republicans actually get away with stealing a race, just like open and literal fraud in broad daylight, then i might finally be able to stop caring about politics entirely

I mean it's pretty overt but in your heart of hearts you know it's always been this way.
