McCrae Dowless, a political operative working for Republicans in the North Carolina congressional race, has been arrested after a grand jury accused him of felonies related to voter fraud. Interestingly, however, the accusations are not related to the 2018 elections, but instead to the 2016 elections. Dowless is accused of the same kinds of voter frauds in both elections, though.

Early this month, evidence emerged of vote tampering in the still-undecided 2018 North Carolina state congressional race. According to recent testimony by Lisa Britt, she was instructed to fill out uncompleted ballots in favor of Republican candidates. Britt said that Dowless, working for the Mark Harris campaign, directed her to do so. Dowless allegedly has gone through great lengths to cover up the absentee ballot scheme.

Britt’s testimony may had profound impact on the election in North Carolina. Mark Harris’s seat has been occupied by a Republican for the past fifty years, but in this election he only received 905 more votes than his rival, Democrat Dan McCready. There will be a new race, and Mark Harris will not run, citing health problems.

The entire election has been a black eye for Republicans in the state, who have long used voter fraud as an excuse to purge voter registries of unwanted voters.
