Discussion: NC GOP Issues Careful Response: 'We Respect' Harris' Call For New Election

Here, let me help you with that stuck Overton window: Jailtime.

That’s better.

That response is the 10’ pole that they’re obviously not willing to touch Rep. Strokey Strokeout with.

Yeah, they “respect” the electoral system. But they won’t commit to a new election unless they are sure they can replace Harris with someone less tainted and be reasonably sure the Republican replacement wins.

I am not aware of any NC Statute that requires a new primary. I know why NCGOP want one, they floated that really early after the election was not certified.

I can see the campaign already-

The Republicans stole your vote and rigged the last election- are you really going to vote for another one?'

If Harris had a shred of decency, he would concede the election. But, he is a Republican, so nevermind.

The Decency Meter for Harris registered in the negative, i.e. Indecent.

A stroke is serious. He should take some time off. The voters should help him do this, if necessary.

Speaker Pelosi should make it clear that the only Representative from NC 9 that will be seated is the candidate who was cheated, Dan McCready. There are no mulligans for cheaters and criminals. Let the republicans of NC waste their time with a do-over republican primary and a do-over general election. Either seat McCready or let that seat be vacant for the duration of the term. There must be no reward for criminals.

I’m sure that conceding would be good for both his health and his soul.

The legislature wrote it just last month. I’m dubious about applying it to an election that precedes the legislation.

Nice of him to call for a new election after he knew the NC Board of Elections was going to order it.

A new election is not unreasonable. A new primary is entirely unacceptable.(It is particularly unacceptable if Harris remains out of jail, and thus able to run.)

Harris is a pastor. A real Christian one too.

So let me get this straight. Harris is caught flagrantly violating the election, effectively ‘stuffing the ballot box’, and the NC GOP response is to wish him well, and “respect Dr. Harris’ decision on behalf of the voters”? He didn’t give a rat’s ass about the voters.

BTW, what did Trump say about this voter fraud? He is suspiciously quiet, considering he invoked the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity to sort out all those busloads of illegal immigrants and college students voting illegally in other states.

Could that mean, perhaps, that Trump has no Integrity, Presidential or otherwise?

i think Harris’s punishment should be that he must run again.

B ******* S.

There’s no bottom to the pit of hell the GOP inhabits. The GOP will run ads saying that liberals created fake news about Harris being a wanton fraud, then bribed the election board to re-do what should clearly be a republican victory. Pelosi refused to seat Harris, blah, blah, blah. The mouth-breathing, knuckle-draggers in NC will line up to “take back their state”. It’s so frigging predictable and depressing.
