Going through exhibits just released today from the state's 2016 investigation into McCrae Dowless' Bladen County operation.

Here's a text from one of his workers to a friend: "Only way I get paid is getting people to do this junk" #ncpol #nc09

Another text, from one of Dowless' workers to Dowless: "I'm scared and I don't remember half of what we are supposed to say" (to state investigators) #ncpol #nc09

That's interested because it makes it appear Dowless instructed them on what to say to state investigators. But in a state elections board hearing around the same time, Dowless said he only ever told his people to simply tell the truth. #ncpol #nc09

These texts are part of a bigger group of documents we are just now seeing. Keep up with all the updates here: newsobserver.com/news/politics-… #ncpol #nc09

Also, I wonder who this redacted presidential candidate's name, only around half a dozen characters long, could be #ncpol #nc09
