A North Carolina legislator best known as the architect of the states so-called bathroom bill three years ago is racking up contributions and endorsements as he runs in the repeat of a congressional race marred by a ballot fraud scandal.
State Sen. Dan Bishop of Charlotte is a leading contender among 10 candidates in next weeks GOP primary in the 9th Congressional District special election. The state elections board unanimously ordered the new election after Mark Harris, the Republican in last years race against Democrat Dan McCready, used a political operative accused of improperly collecting mail-in ballots. Harris opted not to run again and McCready faces no primary opponent. [ ]
In 2016, Bishop sponsored House Bill 2, a law that voided a Charlotte ordinance expanding LGBT rights and prevented similar anti-discrimination rules anywhere else in the state. HB2 was nicknamed the bathroom bill because it also directed transgender people to use public bathrooms and showers that matched their birth sex.
The measure grabbed national headlines and prompted boycotts by entertainers, governments and some businesses thinking about moving jobs to North Carolina. The Associated Press found in 2017 that the law cost the state more than $3.76 billion, primarily from businesses that decided to skip intended moves to North Carolina.
Bishop said the pushback showed hes unafraid to stand up for what he believes.

Had they just stuck it out- they could have recouped that by enticing companies who supported the bill to move there- but nope- they caved-
RINOs don’t “cave”; they covertly (or even openly) support the left-wing agenda.
“The state elections board unanimously ordered the new election after Mark Harris, the Republican in last years race against Democrat Dan McCready, used a political operative accused of improperly collecting mail-in ballots.”
The same “ballot harvesting” scam that is legal in CA that resulted in a bunch of Republicans losing their house seats. It’s not a scandal when the Rats profit from it.
Can any North Carolina FReepers tell us who is the best candidate? We need to get behind the best candidate...

dem ballot harvesting was also in full swing in georgia & florida 2018 elections
Wasnt the infiltrator outed as a former Dem operative? This was likely a dirty tricks move. But didnt one of Harris family members tell him that it was going on?
Define “best” in this context. The word is highly subjective.
Obviously GAY.
