As odd as it may sound, there is a still an election which has yet to be certified. The winner of the race for the 9th Congressional district in North Carolina is still unknown. The reason for this three month-long odyssey is the vast amount of vote fraud perpetrated by a Republican operative.
Republicans in the state keep clamoring for the Board of Elections to certify the race in favor of their candidate, Mark Harris, claiming, despite the fraud, their person would still have more votes. Democrats say because of the extensive amount of fraud, the votes are tainted a new election should be held.
According to Elections Director Kim Strach, Leslie McCrae Dowless, a political operative in rural Bladen County, hired workers to falsify absentee ballot request forms, collect absentee ballots and falsify witness certifications in an apparent violation of state election laws. In addition, Strach found security at the elections office in Bladen County, where some of the alleged ballot tampering took place, had been insufficient.
The party which keeps talking about all the "rigged" elections and vote fraud which is taking place, has now said even though they're the ones perpetrating the fraud, it should be ignored so they can take the seat.

Dowless allegedly paid workers $150 for every 50 absentee ballot request forms they collected and $125 for every 50 absentee ballots collected, Strach said. What’s more, Red Dome, a consulting firm hired by Harris’s campaign, paid Dowless $131,275 between July 3, 2017, and Nov. 7, 2018.
Lisa Britt, Dowless’s former stepdaughter, was among those who testified at the hearing on Monday. She said that during the congressional race, Dowless paid her to collect absentee ballots, including ballots that were not signed by witnesses.
Britt also said that she voted in the November election, despite being on probation for a felony conviction, a violation of North Carolina state law. Dowless, she said, offered instructions on how to do that.
