Did Republicans In North Carolina Congressional Race Cheat?

Mark Harris isn't certified a Congressman yet.
The race for the 9th U.S. Congressional District in North Carolina isn't over. The Democrat and Republican competing for the seat are now battling it out in court.

The suburban region of Charlotte is up for grabs and outgoing Rep. Robert Pittenger (R-NC) is sitting back watching the drama unfold. He will not worry much longer after Jan. 3. He will be leaving as well as a bunch of Republicans swept away in the BLUE WAVE.

Republican Mark Davis won't head to Washington, DC just yet. He is facing an investigation on whether votes were distorted to give him an edge.

North Carolina state officials have not certified this clown because they believe there were numerous irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities related to absentee mail ballots.

It was determined that actions were meant to taint or commit fraudulent or corruption within the election.

Democrat Dan McCready didn't concede yet. He said that he is waiting on whether the election could be voided and a special election will be held in place.

The Associated Press on Friday announced it was revoking its projection of a Republican victory in a battleground North Carolina congressional race, after the state elections board there refused to certify the results amid allegations of wrongdoing.

Results show Republican Mark Harris received 905 more votes than McCready in the 9th Congressional District — one of the most closely watched battleground districts in the country in this month's midterm elections. But in two separate meetings this week, the state elections board voted not to certify the results, after receiving notarized affidavits from voters who claimed that a woman was going door to door offering help filling out and returning absentee ballots in Bladen County, in the eastern part of the district, which stretches west to parts of Charlotte.

A subcontractor for Harris' campaign is suspected, the Charlotte Observer reported.
Former Marine Ben McCready is not conceding yet. He vows to fight this one in court.
Earlier Friday, the North Carolina State Board of Elections voted 7-2 to hold a hearing to weigh claims of "fraudulent activities" in the district, tentatively scheduling an "evidentiary hearing on or before December 21 ... to assure the election is determined without taint of fraud or corruption," board member Joshua Malcolm said in a motion.

Prior to this week’s controversy, Harris appeared to have won two very close elections this year that are now both under scrutiny — the first coming in a primary in May, when he unseated GOP Rep. Robert Pittenger by an 828-vote margin. In the primary, Harris won 96 percent of all absentee ballots in Bladen County, according to the Washington Post, far greater than the 69 percent he won in the county as a whole.

Something smell rotten and it's not the cow pie!
