14. There are a LOT of races on a ballot
Thu Dec 6, 2018, 04:06 AM
Dec 2018

Okay, we know the GOP in District 9 was scheming specifically to throw the Congressional election to the GOP. Thing is, very few people are going to take a ballot and only mark one race. And except for the presidential race, even fewer people are going to vote for one candidate of Party A and the rest of the ballot for Party B. (NC is a weird state in that people will vote for the Republican presidential candidate then choose Democrats for the rest of the ballot.)

So we have two other issues here:

1) How many other Republican winners in NC-9's area wouldn't have won if this batch of ballots hadn't been dropped into a shredder?

and

2) Do they really expect anyone to believe the whole state, with the exception of District 9, ran a clean election?

What needs to happen is for the entire 2018 election to be thrown out in NC and redone, and the NC GOP needs to pay for it.
