Indicted for his “concoction”??? Don’t you mean “connection?”

Seven others also charged?

North Carolina, you have a problem.

Hey, he has plausible deniability. He’s too much of an idiot to be in on the plot. That’s the secret sauce of the IOKIYAR defense. Never you mind that his own son testified that he hired Dowless, knowing that he was dodgy as hell.

What if he concocted the scheme? I kind of remember that Dowless concocted the whole Absentee Ballot outreach scam. I mean he is definitely connected with it, but I think he also totally concocted it.

Any chance Dowless flips on Harris (or other NC Republicans)?

Another Fine American supporter of the Republican Party. Let’s hope Harris is nailed quickly too.

Yet another case of voter fraud documented against the GOP.

Where are all those cases against the Dems again?

Please, please let them all flip. The entire NC GOP is one big election fraud operation.

@agiocambos suggested “connection”, but [like “collusion”] there is no official charge of concoction or connection on which a political operative could officially be indicted.

Loosely, Dowless’ concoction of this scheme (if he didn’t get taught it by his corrupt grandpappy) led to the indictments, but not literally, not “officially”.

The GOP in 2019 has to cheat or they will not win elections. No snark but simple truth.

It will appear whenever one of the little fish decides they want to spend less time in prison…I bet the prosecutors are looking for someone to flip on him, and any other Republicans who pushed this.

EXACTLY my question!

Well, yes.

The Russians are laughing at the unsophisticated, bumbling efforts to corrupt elections the GOP makes without their help.

It’s not voter fraud and calling it that plays into the GOP’s hands. It’s election fraud and it was run by the GOP. Calling it that leads to general suspicion of the GOP’s motives.
