he political operative at the center of an election fraud scandal that has engulfed a North Carolina congressional race was arrested Wednesday on charges of illegal ballot handling and conspiracy. Four people working for him were also charged.

Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr., 63, was accused of directing workers to collect and mail in other people's absentee ballots during the 2018 Republican congressional primary and the 2016 general election. It is against the law in North Carolina for anyone other than the voter or a close relative to handle a mail-in ballot.

"He might have a very remote chance at acquittal by claiming violation of the Equal Protection law, since California allows this..................."

While ballot harvesting is legal in California and is not in North Carolina, each state setd it's own election laws.

Will it be a new primary too or just a re-run of the general election?
