North Carolina Republican in congressional race tainted by ballot fraud says he will not run in new

Source: The Washington Post

Mark Harris, the Republican nominee in a North Carolina congressional race that was tainted by ballot fraud, announced Tuesday that he will not run in the new election for the seat.

Harris said in a statement that he has decided not to seek the 9th District seat due to health problems.

“Given my health situation, the need to regain full strength, and the timing of this surgery the last week of March, I have decided not to file in the new election for Congressional District 9,” Harris said.

Harris has been recovering from a serious infection that had led to sepsis and two strokes.

.... BOE with his name on them might have something to do his decision not to file
for the next election do you?

BTW who thinks this was limited to the 9th Congressional District in N.C.?

I don't think this was limited to congressional races in NC. My suspicion is the entire election in NC is corrupted to the point it needs to be thrown out and redone - right down to the dogcatchers.

Yeah, your health went to hell, so you say. But your dishonesty is fully intact.

Level with people and speak the truth: the real reason you are not running is because you are a cheating scoundrel who engaged in attempted election fraud and GOT CAUGHT. Before even reaching office you were violating the trust of the people you sought to represent.

I hope we never again have to hear your sorry-assed name uttered.

SHAME!

I want to hear about him being indicted, tried and convicted and then sent away to prison for a few decades.

...and being re-done, and had he been the “clear” winner, would his heath be causing him to step down?

I’m gonna guess “No.”

Take Aim Training is located near the NC/SC border in Pageland, SC. Stony is a concealed handgun certified to teach by the NC Justice Academy and SC State Law Enforcement Division. He is also certified by the NRA, NCWRC. and SCDNR to teach many other firearms and hunting courses. Visit takeaimtraining.com for more details.

Ugh, he's horrible. No doubt paid for by the NRA. Skinhead. Take a look at the map marker. That general area of NC/SC has long been considered to be a nexus for KKK activities, among other places. It's also generally Art Pope territory. He's NC's version of the Koch Brothers. Owner of Roses, Roses Express, Maxway, Super 10, Super Dollar, among other stores. Racist extraordinaire.

Nazi in a white hat, oxymoron.
