It’s all about Bladen & The GOP. (Meanwhile, Robeson, Dems get a FREE PASS.)
The Democrat chairman of the state board of elections has resigned in the wake of the revelation of his long history of anti-GOP tweets. Gov. Cooper has replaced him with fellow board member and Robeson County attorney Joshua Malcolm. Malcolm is an operative for a Robeson County Democrat political machine that frequently has its fingerprints on some of the most devious, nefarious, dubious, questionable election activity in the state, And, just in the nick of time, our Democrat governor has elevated Malcolm to supervise an investigation that could wipe out a GOP congressional victory.
(It’s interesting that Cooper replaced Malcolm on the board with Charlotte attorney Robert Cordle, former attorney to disgraced state House speaker Jim Black.)
It’s also interesting this appointment was made even as reports are leaking out that dubious, sketchy election activity in Malcolm’s home county of Robeson are under scrutiny by the state, Robeson has more registered voters and had more votes cast in November than Bladen County did. Robeson also has a shady track record when it comes to elections. But all the driveby media wants to do is talk about Bladen County.
Part of the reason is that a focus on Bladen County keeps the spotlight on Republicans, who won the county in November. Another part is the involvement of Leslie McCrae Dowless, a Republican field operative. Dowless is being painted as a villain likely responsible for some shady / illegal election tactics that benefited GOP candidates. Never mind that Dowless was a Democrat until 2016 and did the same exact kind of work for A TON of Democrat candidates. (Turn your back on the Democrat Party, and they’re ready to make you PAY.)
Some even more disturbing news I’m hearing: DC Republicans are jumping into the vote fraud investigation. I’m hearing they are taking the drivebys’ bait and focusing all their energy on Bladen County — when they should also be looking at places won by Democrats like Robeson, known for shady election practices that typically benefit Democrats.
Will DC sit by and watch Dems snatch ANOTHER (á là California) House seat weeks after the election?
According to a story that was run on the WFAE website one of the ladies who filed an affidavit was named Datesha Montgomery. Her affidavit stated that someone came, took her ballot, and told her that she (the person who took the ballot) would fill out the rest. But if you do a voter search of Datesha Montgomery it will tell you that she voted absenteee 1-stop…..not by mail…. So this person took her ballot with the intention of filling it out for her but then never did? Or did and never turned it in? The other person named in the story is Emma Shipman and it’s the same story with her. A voter search tells you that she voted one-stop and not by mail…….

Not all of these people who filed an affidavit even live in the 9th District. The Lucy Young listed in the story appears to live in the 7th district.
Democrats stole 6 congressional seats in California with slimy ballot “harvesting”. Now they are trying to steal one in North Carolina. California is what needs investigation, and particularly their crooked legislature legalizing ballot practices that make California elections function like a banana republic with absolutely zero integrity.
Repl Graig Meyer is already trying to take advantage of this whole district 9 thing to promote his “Let North Carolina Vote Act” which will do things create universal voter registration, extend early voting etc. etc.
A recipe for vote fraud
This whole caper smells like a Democrat plant, a charade to use as an insurance policy if the GOP won the Congressional seat. Heck, Roy Cooper’s campaign got caught doing the absentee ballot harvesting scam in the same neck of the woods in 2016. Did they get a Democrat operative to go over and “volunteer” for the GOP to set this thing up?
It looks like in 2014 McCrae Dowless worked for the Democrat William Brisson who received 749 absentee votes in Bladen County compared to the Republican candidates 84 votes. Josh Malcolm was on the Board of Elections back then (he was appointed by McCrory in 2013) but he didn’t say anything about that race. Why not?
What do you think the odds are that the absentee ballot irregularities in Bladen County were brought to the attention of the Board of Elections by Tom Steyers group because they were frustrated that their own absentee ballot drive didn’t have the effect that they hoped?
Remember Tom Steyer pledged to spend $1 million in NC-9 and NC-13

It sounds like Woodhouse’s buddies at the notorious Red Dome group hired the operatives implicated in the Bladen County mess, and it looks like they used former Democrat operatives who used Democrat practices.
