Lumberton, NC
Official Finding
Election Overturned
Following a contested election because of voter irregularities for the Precinct 7 City Council seat in the town of Lumberton, the State Board of Elections ordered new election. In the initial election for the City Council seat, incumbent Leon Maynor held a one-vote lead over challenger Laura Sampson after several recounts. The second election also had problems, with Maynor successfully challenging the residency of 20 voters. Ultimately, roughly half of the 850 provisional ballots cast were thrown out for various reasons, and in the final tally Maynor retained his seat by a 20-vote margin.

Pembroke, NC
Official Finding
Election Overturned
For more than a year, the town of Pembroke had no mayor. Challenges stemming from voting irregularities and possible fraud continue long after a disputed November 2015 election and a March 2016 re-do. In the 2015 election, former town councilman Allen Dial won the mayoral post, but following residency challenges by runner-up Greg Cummings, the State Board of Elections ordered a new election be held. Cummings prevailed in that election, but ongoing challenges prevented him from assuming office. In August, four ballots were thrown out for being improperly cast, and Cummings is still ahead in the vote tally. Pembroke's recent electoral history is colorful to say the least, having had to re-do an election in 2014 as well.

Hector Ramirez
Criminal Conviction
Fraudulent Use Of Absentee Ballots
Hector Ramirez pleaded guilty to one count of criminal possession of a forged instrument. Ramirez, a 2014 State Assembly Candidate for the 86th District Assemby District, deceived voters into giving their absentee ballots to his campaign on the false premise that the campaign would then submit the ballots. Instead, Ramirez's campaign inserted his name on at least thirty-five of the absentee ballots. Ramirez initially won the 2014 race, but a recount determined he had lost by two votes. In lieu of jail time, Bronx Supreme Court Justice Steven Barrett imposed a three-year ban on Ramirez running for office. Ramirez could face jail time if he runs for office in violation of his three-year ban. Prior to his guilty plea, Ramirez unsuccessfully ran for the same state assembly seat on numerous occasions, most recently in the 2016 election.

Rivera originally faced 16 election-related charges, 15 of which were dropped as part of his plea deal. He was sentenced to one year of probation and ordered to pay a $500 fine.

Courtney Rainey
Criminal Conviction
Miscellaneous
Courtney Rainey, school board member, director of human and cultural needs in Canton, and 2019 judicial candidate, engaged in numerous illegal acts during the 2017 municipal election. Among others, she bought votes with cash and gift cards, and then attempted to intimidate one of the voters to stimy the criminal case against her. Rainey faced a litany of charges, including voter fraud, conspiracy, and witness intimidation. Rainey was convicted of voter intimidation and acquited of conspiracy, but a jury failed to deliver a verdict on the voter fraud charge, meaning Rainey likely faces another trial. She will be sentenced in September on the intimidation conviction.

Ninth Congressional District of North…
Official Finding
Fraudulent Use Of Absentee Ballots
A general election for the seat in the Ninth Congressional district was decertified by North Carolina State Board of Elections after credible allegations of absentee ballot abuse arose. Officials became suspicious when 61% of the vote-by-mail ballots were cast for the Republican candidate, despite the fact that only 16% of the mail-by-ballot were registered Republicans. Multiple people, including the Republican candidate's son, expressed their suspicions that a political contractor illegally organized the collection of absentee ballots and completed empty mail-in ballots. The Board of Elections ordered a new election to fill the seat and the contractor was subsequently indicted.

There is no crowd. There isn't supposed to be a crowd. Holy fuck we're in a goddamn pandemic.
Why do people think literally nobody is showing up to Biden rallies when he's polling with a solid +8 lead. Like really? You don't think ANYBODY is going? Literally nobody? Come the fuck on.
These rallies are literally how Trump got COVID. It's how a bunch of Republicans did. Herman Cain died from COVID he contracted at one of Trump's rallies.
Like how fucking dumb can you be to think Biden is inviting people? Fuck!

Like, you know there was no crowd at the debates? This is fucking why. There's still a deadly virus out there that TRUMP says would've killed 2.2 million people if he hadn't partially shut the border to China when he did. That is 10x the current count. If you're stupid enough to believe Trump, then shouldn't you also believe in the severity of this virus? Even Trump said it's the patriotic thing to wear masks lol.

Of course you claim he sucked and Biden won, but Biden could have had a stroke and died while Trump was spouting the best political rhetoric ever heard, and you'd still say that.
Because you're dishonest.
And why would I want Trump to win? Other than spite?
To be honest neither candidate stood out. It was one of the worst debates I've ever watched. But I don't blame Trump or Biden. The problem was the format and the moderator. Chris Wallace was horrible. He gave very little pushback and his framing of questions was horrible. -
