State election officials investigating Durham County’s handling of provisional ballots in the March primary said criminal charges could follow the ongoing investigation.

Josh Lawson, general counsel for the N.C. State Board of Elections, said the investigation that will likely result in about 1,000 provisional ballots not being counted, includes a criminal component into crimes that include making fraudulent entry on elections books and certifying, delivering or transmitting false returns. The crimes are Class I felonies.

Durham County, NC is a traditional hotbed of voter fraud

Speaking of which, how’s the ballot recount going there for Gov?

It should be a Death Penalty offense....................

Republican is falling behind more and more. Probably dependent on which counties they count first.

The count can also identify voter fraud issues.

Business as usual for the Democratic machine.

Can I assume that Durham County is related to the Raleigh/Durham area? If so I know that that's one of the most heavily populated parts of the state.Most of the larger cities in the country are favorite targets of Rat Party lies and fraud.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Raleigh is Wake County but just next door to Durham County.

If this is about the Governor's race the thing that confuses me is that Trump won the state pretty comfortably,all but one or two of the House races were won by Republicans yet this Rat squeaks by (get it?).

By subracting these votes, does that mean Governor McCory is under 10,000 again and gets an automatic recount?

Has the governors race been decided?

It should be a Death Penalty offense....................[sic-lots of dots]

Oh, stop. Next you'll be wanting to execute two-year-olds for not wanting to take their naps.

[Red Badger]

Just some, not all....................

I am encouraged to see that possibly criminal charges will be brought. If people end up in prison for voter fraud, perhaps the risk will become less attractive.

Punkies (Duke University) and monkeys. Ditto for next door Orange County, which is the University of North Carolina.

[NEMDF]

Sounds like this was for March primary. ??

[Cobra64]

Yup. If found guilty, execution by firing squad. Nothing less will prevent future voter fraud.

[Red Badger]

In the old days, counterfeiting currency was a death penalty offense, as it was considered same as treason, undermining the state security. Voter fraud should be no less...............
