Republican Mark Harris said Tuesday he will not run in the new election for North Carolina’s 9th congressional district, citing his “extremely serious” health condition.

It comes just days after the North Carolina State Board of Election unanimously voted for a new election after the district’s House race from 2018 was marred by claims of ballot fraud.

Is this the same ballot harvesting that flipped several seats in CA after Election Day?

Good. He was tainted by the investigation and would have lost.

FTA:

“After consulting with my physicians, there are several things that my health situation requires as a result of the extremely serious condition that I faced in mid-January,” Harris said in a statement. “One of those is a necessary surgery that is now scheduled for the last week in March.”

Harris added, “I have decided not to file in the new election for Congressional District 9.”

Last week, Harris, who outpaced Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes in the contested race, said in court he has suffered two strokes since the election and was “struggling” to get through the hearing. (Emphasis added.)

WOW!! I've had some relatives and close friends who've had serious cardio/vascular issues and eventually died or became incapacitated. He did the absolutely right thing by dropping out and taking care of his very serious health problems.

He’s a turd, he cheated, harmed every other conservative and almost guarantees the district will be represented by a democrat for a while.

Piece of crap

Well, you got your wish on this one, Impy. Congressman-elect Harris won’t run in this unnecessary special election.

I feel bad for the guy but he’d have lost for certain.

I don’t feel great about chances regardless though. :/
