New NC elections board named, allowing 9th District investigation to proceed

Source: WRAL

After more than a month without a State Board of Elections, Gov. Roy Cooper on Thursday named five people to the reconstituted board.

Cooper named Democrats Stella Anderson of Boone, Jeff Carmon III of Durham and Bob Cordle of Charlotte and Republicans David C. Black of Concord and Ken Raymond of Winston-Salem to the five-member board.

"North Carolinians deserve fair and honest elections, and I am confident this board will work to protect our electoral process," Cooper said in a statement.

A previous nine-member elections board was dissolved by court order in late December after a panel of state judges ruled lawmakers had overstepped their authority in the way they set it up and in making other changes to the state's elections administration system in 2016.

Partners in crime: Mark Harris (right) and his professional ballot stuffer, McCrae Dowless.

The race, which put Harris ahead by 905 votes (0.3%), has not been certified by the NC State Board of Elections.

This is the last outstanding House race from 2018.

Cheaters would automatically lose elections and their opponent would automatically be declared the winner.

Especially since pubicans are the only people cheating. pubicans have to cheat otherwise they'd never win.

Of course, who is actually monitoring this and who has enforcement authority? And if the party (e.g., repuglicons) are in charge, we know it will be a sham.

It's the last outstanding House race - and what's more, a very good test going forward as to just how much electoral fraud the GOPee can still get away with.
