What political party is it that dwells on voter suppression? Of course it is the Republicans who are involved with such actions as canceling voters right to vote because they don't have street addresses (Indians of North Dakota).
Is it no surprise then that the party always yelling about illegal voting by Democrats should be the group that actually is found to do voter fraud? The case in point is the North Carolina 9th Congressional District where Republican Mark Harris held a slim lead over Democrat Dan McCready owing to fraudulent activity with absentee ballots.* A re-election is called for in a 5-0 vote by the election commision.
Harris's son John Harris, who is an Assistant District Attorney in North Carolina, seems to have repeatedly warned his father about the political operative Leslie Dowless hired by his father Mark. It turns out that Dowless is accused of ballot tampering. Apparently workers hired by Dowless would get people to request absentee voting ballots and then collect them, which is illegal. Then they would fill in parts of the ballot left blank. You know who they filled in when the vote for representative was blank?
It would all be kind of funny if it wasn't so serious.
