NCGOP attorney demands recount after Durham voting machine error

Raleigh, N.C. — In a formal complaint to the Durham County Board of Elections, Thomas Stark, the attorney for the North Carolina Republican Party on Saturday demanded a recount of votes cast on and before Election Day, citing a counting error involving 90,000 ballots.

Thomas Stark, general counsel for the GOP and a Durham County voter, filed the protest with the Durham County Board of Elections, alleging malfeasance in regard to the accuracy of the count. In the complaint, Stark says the county used data from potentially corrupt tabulation machines from five early voting sites and one general election precinct.

A "critical error" in the machines used to scan ballots caused the memory cards to fail, Stark said, which made the data unreadable. To count the votes, Stark said Durham County election officials then printed out a log of the ballots and counted them by hand, which Stark said is unreliable.

Durham is crime central in NC. Its officials ignore crime in many areas, evidently including in elections. This is a blatant example of voter fraud. It is definitely a reason Republican Governor McCrory is losing to that interloper Roy Cooper by 4000 votes (the counting of provisional ballots is still ongoing.)

Good luck to the Republican legal team!

Last paragraph in the article explains what is going on re: votes that have not been counted yet:

“Despite Roy Cooper’s rude and grossly premature declaration of victory, under the laws of the state of North Carolina, this election is not over and will not be over for some considerable amount of time,” state Republican Party Chairman Robin Hayes said. “There are outstanding provisional, mail and overseas ballots, not to mention serious concerns about the issues in Durham County.”

90K ballots is a lot for any city.

Yes it is - just one more indication of huge voter fraud there.

We have one shot at this. Priority 1 is to true the vote. If they can’t cheat, they can’t win

Without fair elections, our democratic republic fails; if fair, this 4K margin is not a huge obstacle to overcome.

As an Ohio precinct election official, our location is a Democrat Party majority polling place for the four precincts. A little over ten percent of our total ballots cast were by the early and absentee vote process. Provisional ballots cast were slightly over one tenth of one percent of our total ballots cast on election day.

For what it’s worth, Trump carried this section greater than two to one.

Cheers,
OLA

Good to know - and thank you for being a precinct official. Honest precinct officials are the core of our voting fairness and success.

Remember it was BEFORE 3:00 PM EDT, when that area got a judge to OKay the demonic-rat request to have their polls stay open an hour later than the other Nc precincts?

We knew right then and there that they were planning FRAUD!

Yes we did!

That is a common Demonrat voter fraud tactic used in Philadelphia and probably other places in the past.

Durham County is as corrupt as they come - so I guess they figured they could get away with it there too.

All the voter fraud needs to be investigated, exposed, and prosecuted. Jail time is the only way to cure this treason!

Let’s find out just how badly Hitlery lost, shall we?

How many illegals and felons voted?? How many Soros voting machines were rigged?

If there is voter fraud anywhere, including here, I want it discovered, investigated, charged, prosecuted, and anyone found guilty doing serious, hard time in federal prison.

To Hell with anyone stealing our votes.

That is an act of war as far as I am concerned.

Totally agree! This crime strikes at the HEART of our Republic! It must be stopped and, as you say, the perps prosecuted to the full extent of the law!

I’m no lawyer, but wouldn’t selectively keeping a polling place open but not doing the same state wide be a violation of the equal protection clause?

If I recall correctly, the SCOTUS ruled in Florida in 2000 that select counties couldn’t use a different standard for counting and cited that clause.

Please correct me if my recollection is bad.

It seems every Presidental election you can count on the Democrats to get a judge to extend poll hours. Usually in cities.

Durham School Superintendent phoned a recorded message to parents after the election to offer counseling to students disturbed by the election and to assure parents that the schools in Durham are inclusive so disrespect and bullying would not be tolerated. I’m sure that depends on who is doing the bullying.
