As is well known by now, a Republican candidate for the House from North Carolina committed voter fraudin connection with the election, by “harvesting” absentee ballots and either tossing those that didn’t go his way, or completing incomplete ballots without the voters consent, never mind input:
The amazing depth and breadth of apparent absentee voter fraud in North Carolina’s 9th district is breathtaking. In a nutshell, it appears that a Republican operative with convictions for fraud in his past harvested absentee ballots, discarding some and having day workers collect others, adding their signatures as witnesses to those they actually turned in.
One thing I’ve seen no comments about: The violations were so blatant that it is hard to believe anyone would engage in them unless they believed the authorities would look the other way. Besides paying people to do the harvesting, something it would be hard to hide, their lackeys witnessed an extraordinary number of ballots, which should have sent anyone’s spider sense tingling:
Woody Hester witnessed 44
James Singletary witnessed 42
Lisa Britt witnessed 42
Ginger Eason witnessed 28
Jessica Dowless witnessed 15
Cheryl Kinlaw witnessed 13
Deborah Edwards witnessed 11
Sandra Dowless witnessed 10
In addition, consider the fact that the percentage of absentee ballots cast for the Republican was about 69% when the percentage of absentee ballots case byRepublicans was less than 20%.
What this tells you, I think, is that the folks organizing this fraud fully expected that the relevant people would see, hear, and speak no evil. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it, how many other elections have been stolen using similar tactics.
Funny, isn’t it, that the only people insisting we have to suppress the vote to combat voter fraud are the only ones committing voter fraud.
study up on that.
UPDATE: Just saw this tweet. I don’t know how to embed tweets but here’s the gist:
The ’16 GOP primary, ’18 GOP primary; ’18 general elections in #NC09 were all decided by fewer than 1,000 votes. In all three cases, Dowless’s absentee ballot scheme was hidden in plain sight – in the election results. Amazing anyone thought they could get away with it forever.
2016 primary: Dowless works for Todd Johnson (R), who wins Bladen mail-in absentees 221-4-1 (!) over Harris (R) ; Pittenger (R).
2018 primary: Dowless works for Harris (R), who wins Bladen mail-in absentees 437-17 (!) over Pittenger (R).
A blatantly obvious absentee mill. #NC09
