AP retracts call in North Carolina congressional race amid fraud investigation
The Hill ^ | 11/30/18 06 | Tal Axelrod

The Associated Press on Friday retracted its call for a Republican in a House race in North Carolina after the state board of elections delayed certifying the results due to concerns of voter fraud.

Democrat Dan McCready conceded the election to Republican Mark Harris earlier this month and said he would not request a recount.

Unofficial results show Harris with a 905-vote lead out of nearly 283,000 votes counted.

The North Carolina board of elections cited “claims of irregularities and fraudulent activities related to absentee by-mail voting” when it said it would delay certifying the results. The body voted 7-2 on Friday to hold a hearing into the concerns.

The North Carolina Democratic Party released a statement praising the vote, applauding “the board’s bipartisan decision to delay certification and fully investigate the concerning allegations.”

Officials were particularly alarmed over uncommonly high numbers of absentee ballots submitted in Bladen County, according to The Washington Post.

“It’s been out there. We were fully aware of it. There are some particularly unsavory people, particularly out in Bladen County, and I didn’t have anything to do with them,” Harris said Thursday in an interview with Spectrum News.

"...retracts call..."


That is the sweet part about being a Democrat candidate, the election is never over until they are declared the winner.
How many recounts in recent memory have been decided in favor of the Republican candidate?

The one thing they’ve proven to be exceptionally good at, voter fraud.

What the hell is that? Is he calling his voters unsavory?

Wait, doesn't that go against the Democrat argument that there is no voter fraud?

Can there be any doubt that this is the Democrats’ new election strategy?

Harris leads McCready by 905 votes out of nearly 283,000 votes
cast in all or parts of eight south-central counties encompassing
the 9th District. The GOP has held the district since 1963.

Is anyone else beginning to feel like Jewish folks might have felt somewhere in the 30s?

I can see why they didn’t mobilize or stop what was happening.

We don’t.

ITS SO OBVIOUS WHAT IS GOING ON!!

But I don’t know what to do to stop this, the mueller atrocities, the violating of constitutional rights to overthrew a president. and on and on.

Our numbers as a percentage are MUCH GREATER than Jewish folks’ were in Germany, and there’s lots of guns.

But it doesn’t get easier to turn things back as time goes on.

WE HAVE a leader on these things. Trump.

But they are trying to destroy him.

"...new election strategy..."


Credit where credit is due:
Democrats have truly honed their fraud skills to razor sharpness.
Democrats are truly world-class with their dishonesty and criminality.
