Elections worker in North Carolina charged with changing 2016 vote totals
Fox news ^ | August 21, 2017

A former elections worker in North Carolina was indicted Monday by a Durham County grand jury for mishandling provisional ballot results during the March 2016 primary election.

Richard Robert Rawling, 59, of Cary, was charged on the counts of obstruction of justice — a felony — and failure to discharge a duty of his office — a misdemeanor.

An investigation of the state’s elections board determined Rawling ran or ordered subordinates to run provisional ballots through tabulators more than once and made manual changes to the ballot count so the results of the provisional canvass would match the number of approved provisional ballots.

Probably thousands and thousands of these across the country.

If I were a resident of Durham, I would sue that F-er or disenfranchising my vote.

A misdemeanor isn’t enough.

Had to be a liberal - if he was a Republican they would have led with that in the headline.

If he is a libtard, which I’m sure he is, likely a Tarheel graduate, and won’t live in the suburb Cary parts, likely resides in the little downtown Cary with the other professional students and NY Times and Economist subscribers.

Yeah, I know rhe area like the back of my hand.

LOL. A guy I was working with in Smithfield told me that last week. It’s mostly true. :^)

That’s what needs to be done. Sue them until they are flat broke. Judges just give them slaps on the wrist. Civil court, hit them in the pocket book.

I can find nothing to provide an answer to your question. I did however, find this: It also found no evidence that Rawling altered any ballot counts to support a particular party or candidate. North Carolina voter records show that Rawling is registered unaffiliated.

And I bet that went on big time in CA, hence Hillary’s popular vote “victory”.

The indictment was handed down on Monday on counts of obstruction of justice, which is a felony, and failure to discharge a duty of his office, which is a misdemeanor, the N.C. State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement said in a release.

Does that help? Also, they are claiming that the provisional ballots did not alter the eventual outcome.

The outcome of the governor race was changed by Durham getting a judge to keep polls open longer but these provisional ballots helped no doubt

I only stated what they said, not that what they said was the truth. 8>)

Many states do not count provisional votes at all, unless the election is close.

But which election? The top of ballot election, or the dozens of lower ballot elections.

I understand that it may not matter much between gerrymandered places, like inner cities or most of Wyoming.

But it should not be allowed, especially when most military and overseas voters get an extra week or two to get their ballots in.
