By Felicia Sonmez Felicia Sonmez National reporter on The Washington Post's breaking political news team Email Bio Follow February 26 at 2:43 PM Mark Harris, the Republican nominee in a North Carolina congressional race that was tainted by ballot fraud, announced Tuesday that he will not run in the new election for the seat. Harris said in a statement that he has decided not to seek the 9th District seat due to health problems.
” North Carolina election officials last week ordered a new contest in the 9th District, ending a dramatic months-long investigation focused on irregularities with mail-in ballots. The board voted unanimously to throw out the November results between Harris and Democrat Dan McCready. Harris, an evangelical minister from Charlotte, had led by 905 votes in unofficial returns. He was under scrutiny for hiring a political operative, Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr.
Absolutely the right thing to do. His Son showed credibility in himself and empathy for his parents. The parents should be proud of this young man. A sad but fair end.
He had voters' ballots thrown in the GARBAGE! He should be in jail.
He should be in jail.
Let me guess. He wants to spend more time with his family or he has health issues. Reality, GOP needs a candidate not tainted by real election fraud.
