Democracy NC calls for criminal probe of NCGOP for unfounded voter fraud claims

[TexasTowelie]

RALEIGH -- A voter-rights organization hopes to persuade state and federal prosecutors to investigate whether former Gov. Pat McCrory’s campaign and the state Republican Party conspired in late 2016 to falsely accuse hundreds of voters of fraud.

The organization, Democracy North Carolina, conducted a five-month investigation into about 600 protests filed after McCrory lost his bid for re-election to Democrat Roy Cooper.

Their findings are included in a 16-page report released Tuesday that Bob Hall, the watchdog group’s executive director, said would be sent to district attorneys in 23 counties and federal prosecutors in North Carolina.

“In the course of our investigation, we talked with dozens of people who have been harmed by the false accusations of voter fraud trumpeted by the McCrory campaign and the Republican Party and their publicity team,” Hall told reporters Tuesday. “They are the victims of what happens when outrageous claims of voter fraud are used as a weapon for political gain.”

1. Voter Fraud the great myth

I started working at the Precinct Polls 12 years ago. Precinct volunteers were trained on how to spot Voter Fraud. Never ever did we detect in person voter fraud on a scale pushed by the Republicans in NC. Voter Fraud is really VOTER SUPPRESSION. The report released by the State BOE confirmed that only 1 person committed in person voter fraud and another person voted on behalf of dead mother.
