This is disgusting.

Lock these Bladen GOP fraudsters up ... for years.

Invalidate the election and call a new one.

There definitely has to be a new election.

I have not followed the recent events, but if the vote fraud was already existing in the primary then there should also be a new primary and a new GE.

The vote fraud is pretty clear and if Austria's Constitutional Court ordered a new Presidential (!) election runoff because of "sloppiness" (there was no vote fraud at all here, btw) - then there should definitely be a new vote in NC for much more serious offenses ...

Considering all the evidence now, it would be a huge step back for democracy if the SBOE did not order a new election.

What’s taking them so long to order it ? The large-scale voter fraud is extremely clear at this point.

I'm wondering the same thing. This is a no-brainer at this point.

Yeah.

Also, how stupid are some people to hand their postal ballots over to random people they don't know to "deliver" them ?

As a frequent postal voter myself, I would only trust someone from my family to deliver it to the postal office or dropoff site, or the postal workers themselves.

What do you think will happen earlier ?

Beto O'Rourke announcing his campaign for President or NC-09 getting a new congressman/woman ?

As a Democrat, I neither want Harris (R), nor McCready (D) nor the defeated primary-Republican to be seated. I want NC-09 to remain vacant and a new special primary and general election to be held, which determines a winner.

And I want a tough prison sentence for the Republican guys who collected absentee ballots on their own and destroyed some of them, a hefty financial penalty of several millions to the state GOP, which is paid to the state to reform the state election system and a law that prevents such election fraud in the future.

Funny to see the NC GOP winding around like a filthy snake.

The NC GOP is a fu**ing disgrace.

Time for Pelosi and the House to chop of its head and order new elections there. This situation cannot be tolerated to last for another year or so.

Yeah, Harris is done.

They should order a new election plus a new primary tomorrow already and if Harris has any decency left, he should not run anymore after this disgrace.

Excellent !

The NYT speculates about a primary in May, a possible runoff in September and the new GE in November.

It‘s also not clear yet if Harris or Pittenger run again.

The board or the NC Governor ?

Have the primary, runoff and GE dates already been set for NC-9, as the thread title shows ?

I think only the date for the other special election has been set, right ?

BTW:

The filing deadline for NC-09 is on Friday, March 15.

The filing deadline for NC-03 was last Friday and the GOP primary there will be extremely crowded with 17 candidates (+6 Democrats and a few from other parties).

The filing deadline for NC-09 is on Friday.

So far, until yesterday night, only 4 candidates have officially registered:

Stony Rushing (R, endorsed by Harris)
Fern Shubert (R)

Dan McCready (D, 2018 GE nominee)

Jeff Scott (L, 2018 GE nominee)

Glad to see a small field. Will allow us to resolve the Republican Primary w/out a Runoff and thus fill the seat in September rather than November.

Well, some other R candidates could still file until Friday.

Wikipedia mentions a few others after all.

And will peel some otherwise Democratic votes, while having zero chances of victory. IMHO - idiocy...

Well, after all the recent events in NC-09, McCready should put away the Republican candidate by 2-3% in the re-election.

If not and it's close again, or if he loses, it's certainly not the Green candidate to blame ...

10 Republicans have filed, 1 Democrat (McCready), 1 Libertarian and 1 Green.

BTW:

The crowded NC-03 special election primaries take place this Tuesday.

There's also a new poll out on the GOP side, but even there the leading candidate just gets 14% - so everything is still possible.

It looks as if Dan Bishop is the heavy favourite in the GOP primary on May 14 and could avoid a runoff, according to a new PPP poll for NC-09:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Yg57c_at8pycldd3E63cK533M4G7S2Xz/view

That would mean a battle of the Dans on Sept. 10th - together with the NC-03 general election.
