The scandal in North Carolina proves voter fraud is real
Maybe ballot security isn’t such a bad thing after all.
Democrats who the day before yesterday were insisting that voter fraud didn’t exist now believe that it was used to steal a North Carolina congressional seat from them — and they may well be right.
Republican Mark Harris has a 905-vote lead over Democrat Dan McCready in the state’s Ninth Congressional District, a slender victory that the state board of elections has refused to certify given credible allegations of cheating.
A consulting firm working for Harris contracted with an operative named McCrae Dowless based on his get-out-the-vote work, mostly involving his strange prowess with absentee ballots.
Dowless has a shady background that includes criminal convictions and a prior investigation of his election practices. His methods were seamy, at best.
Working from a storefront, he employed a crew to go door-to-door urging people to request absentee ballots. When they did, his team returned to collect the ballots, purportedly to deliver them to election officials but apparently to hand them over to Dowless first.
This itself is against the law in North Carolina, and rightly so. It destroys any chain of custody and creates the opportunity for abuse and corruption. There is evidence that Dowless may have availed himself of it.
