The North Carolina Board of Elections unanimously voted Monday to set the dates for the re-do congressional race in the ninth district, an election that was originally tainted by absentee ballot fraud.

The new primary will be held May 14 and the general election will follow on September 10. If a second primary is required, it will be held September 10 and the general on November 5.

Filing begins next week.

Two smaller races that were affected by the ballot fraud, those for Bladen county commissioner and soil and water conservation district supervisor, will be held May 14.

LOSING the office you cheated to get?

Dems should adopt this strategy. Cheat every time and if you lose, "get caught" and demand a do-over.
Rinse and repeat.
Guaranteed victories.

First, there shouldn't be a primary. Second, the people on the ballot should be the same ones that were on the ballot in November. If they can't be on the ballot due to health reasons then too bad.
