Critics are claiming the search for voter fraud is just an attempt to disenfranchise black voters in NC.
""What is happening is a deliberate and precise attack aimed at undermining the votes of African-American North Carolinians," Melvin Montford, executive director of the North Carolina A. Philip Randolph Institute, said in a statement. "The election challenges that have been filed are in areas where we have strong African-American political organizations. Calling these votes into question is an obvious effort to cast doubt on election results with no good reason to do so and disenfranchise black voters."
A mere 5000 votes separates Roy Cooper (D) from Pat McCrory (R). The hope is that the latest votes to be counted (some absentee ballots and some provisional ballots) can make up that deficit.
Only 1000 votes separate the losing R candidates from the winning D candidates in several other important races.
Yes, especially dead ones and those that take voting so seriously that they vote more than once.
