The North Carolina State Board of Elections has refused to certify a Republican's slim victory, given credible allegations of cheating.
Democrats, who the day before yesterday were insisting that voter fraud didn't exist, now believe that it was used to steal a North Carolina congressional seat from them - and they may well be right.
Weirdly, only 19 percent of absentee ballots in Bladen were submitted by Republicans, yet Harris managed to win 61 percent of the absentee vote there.
In the GOP primary for the seat, Harris won an equally narrow victory over the Republican incumbent and an even more smashing Dowless-engineered victory in Bladen absentee ballots, 437 to 17.
Although usually not as extensive or consequential as what may have transpired in North Carolina's 9th District, vote fraud often involves absentee voting, and exploiting poor and vulnerable voters.
In October, four people were indicted in Texas on 30 felony counts of targeting elderly voters in a fraudulent mail-in voter scheme.
The North Carolina race demonstrates how even relatively small-scale cheating - no one will ever mistake McCrae Dowless for a major player - can undermine faith in our system.
