I just donated to North Carolina's Dan McReady. He was robbed of a win in November,

and now he has to start all over again. There's going to be a new primary and a new general election.

If you want to help, too, here's Act Blue.

RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Board of Elections on Thursday ordered a new election in the 9th Congressional District after allegations of illegal activity in the handling of mail-in ballots.

The five-member board's unanimous action came after several days of hearings into Republican ballot-collecting practices in the 2018 general election.

Their decision was made after the GOP candidate, Mark Harris, surprisingly suggested Thursday that there should be a new election because the public had lost confidence in the results. On Election Day Harris had narrowly topped Democrat Dan McCready in unofficial results.

With the corruption that was uncovered on the republican side, my guess is that he is in good shape.

If you are playing a sport , and you cheat and have to forfeit..the other team WINS.... It's simple...You do not start the game over ...

The penalty for cheating is that the other guy wins....

Now if the cheater's base is more motivated and he wins, the cheating will be washed away as if it never happened and didn't matter anyway.
