EXCLUSIVE: I've obtained images of 162 absentee ballot envelopes from North Carolina's 9th Congressional district

One of the state's top election law experts tell me the envelopes "fit into a pattern of fraud"

popular.info/p/exclusive-ab…
2. In North Carolina mail-in absentee ballots need 2 witness signatures on the envelope. Just 8 people acted as witnesses for 130 of the ballots, many of whom are related to Leslie McCrae Dowless, the convicted felon who is at the center of the controversy popular.info/p/exclusive-ab…
3. Several people witnessed over 40 ballots.

Remember:

1. There are affidavits saying canvassers collected unsealed ballots

2. Only 19% of absentees requested in Bladen were from Republicans, but the GOP candidate won 61% of the absentee vote

4. In 2016, McCrae Dowless admitted to paying people to obtained signed absentee ballots, which is illegal.

A total and humiliating capitation to a president with no interest in the truth.

The news media is supposed to inform the public.

They are now being used to disseminate government propaganda.
REMEMBER: When Obama wanted to address the nation on immigration, the networks refused to air it because they believe it would be "overtly political."

What a joke.

goo.gl/a8SSgT
The idea that a Democratic rebuttal or fact-checking will make this better is insulting.

If I break my arm and a doctor gives me a cast, I'm thankful.

If a doctor breaks my arm and hands me a band-aid, it's not a favor.

Any network that airs this live is knowingly participating in a disinformation campaign
Some conflicting info, but @JenniferJJacobs of Bloomberg says the networks will air this live

This show just how deeply the mainstream media misunderstands Trump and his tactics

@JenniferJJacobs This is what happened when Obama gave a primetime address on immigration in 2014

1. Can we talk about @redlobster?

Dozens of corporations stopped advertising on Tucker Carlson after he said immigrants made America "dirtier"

Now Carlson is arguing there's a moral responsibility to pay women less than men.

@redlobster is one of the few corps sticking w/him
@redlobster 2. The president of @redlobster is Salli Setta. She's on the board of the Women's Foodservice Forum (@WFFHQ).

@WFFHQ is dedicated to "galvanizing the Food Industry" to become "one of the first industries to close the gender gap"

Why is @redlobster sticking with Tucker Carlson?
3. Corporations like @redlobster want to develop a reputation for being socially conscious. Its president is devoted to gender equality. Kudos.

But the power of corporations comes from how they use their resources.

While others were sworn in, NC Rep Harris was still waiting for a judge to certify his fraud election.

NC district still under investigation as new Congress sworn in - KTVZ ktvz.com/news/politics/…
Harris was home in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, asking a judge to certify the results of the unsettled election and meeting with investigators who are looking into potential election fraud in the race.
After the state's board of elections dissolved last week as part of an ongoing legal battle over its composition and the state was unable to seat a new board, Harris' legal team said it had no choice but to go to court.

2018 was a busy and, in many ways, head spinning year on the redistricting front - with action in both state and federal court and at the ballot box. A look back. #fairmaps 1/
Things kicked off on January 5, when the special master in the racial gerrymandering challenge to North Carolina's legislative maps issued his recommendations on how the maps should be redrawn. brennancenter.org/sites/default/… #fairmaps 2/
Then, on Jan 9, while the court in the NC racial gerrymandering case was weighing recommendations for fixes to the legislative maps, a different federal court issued a ruling striking down NC's congressional map as a partisan gerrymander. brennancenter.org/sites/default/… #fairmaps 3/

GERRYMANDERING IN NORTH CAROLINA -
A THREAD

It’s often said that congressional voting districts in some states are gerrymandered. One such state is North Carolina. Let’s look at the situation there, and how it affects elections and seats won in the House of Representatives.
First of all, what is gerrymandering? It’s the practice of drawing voting district boundaries to the advantage of one political party. It even makes it possible for a party to win an election or seat with fewer votes than its opposition. This fuckery comes in more than one form.
Here is one type. There are less red voters, so the red party should lose. However, districts are drawn to group blue voters together and reduce their influence, whilst creating a larger number of mixed red-and-blue districts marginally won by red. Red wins by 3 districts to 2.

Election Day legal updates: Lawyers from the Advancement Project have asked a state judge in Missouri to direct county election officials to comply with an earlier court order saying voters don't need to present a photo ID (other valid IDs are okay): assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5029…
In Georgia, a Fulton County judge has ordered two polling locations to stay open until 10pm (apologies for the quality of these images, I'm working to get a better copy but they're not available online at the moment)
What else has been going on in court today? A little while ago, voters in Georgia filed a lawsuit to try to stop Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp from exercising his duties as the state's top election official: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

Election law experts from across the political spectrum largely agree that the New York attorney general made a compelling case this week that Trump’s campaign and his charitable foundation violated federal campaign finance laws during the 2016 election. nyti.ms/2JMSLvi
Ms. Underwood’s office lacks the authority to prosecute federal matters. So, when she filed the lawsuit, she simultaneously sent letters to the IRS and the FEC asking those agencies to investigate the alleged violations of federal tax laws and campaign finance laws, respectively.
And, for good measure, on the letter to the F.E.C., she copied two top officials from the Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section, which is charged with investigating and prosecuting criminal violations of election laws.
