Democrat calls for 48 witnesses at state board hearing into election fraud in NC

[TexasTowelie]

The Democrat in North Carolina’s disputed 9th Congressional District election wants to subpoena nearly 50 witnesses for the state board of elections’ hearing scheduled for Jan. 11.

But state Republicans vowed to sue Gov. Roy Cooper if he tries to appoint Republican members to the interim board that would be tasked with holding that hearing.

Just another day in the wild 9th district.

Republican Mark Harris won an apparent victory by 905 votes over Democrat Dan McCready on Nov. 6, but the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement twice declined to certify the election citing voting irregularities among absentee ballots in Bladen and Robeson counties. The nine-member board scheduled a hearing on Jan. 11, but a three-judge panel dissolved the board on Dec. 28, leaving no board in place at the moment for the potential hearing.

1. They are really

"Showing their tails" as grandma would say. I'm so not surprised. What do they expect him to do? Appoint an all democrats board so they can oppose that too?

The veneer is wearing mighty thin on these republican fools. It's like they have bought the poison lettuce and knowing it's tainted, are going to eat it anyway. The phrase "cutting off your nose to spite your face" comes to mind. It would be funny if it wasn't so embarrassing.

Thanks for the post, TT. Happly New Year! ♡
