Doesn't matter in the end. That District will not vote for an R. The primary is what mattered for AOC (as is true with a lot of the districts in the country both R and D)

L. McCrae Dowless Jr., the North Carolina political operative who was at the center of a scandal involving absentee-ballot harvesting and tampering that led to the first rerun of a federal election in some 40 years, died on Sunday at his daughter’s home in Bladen County, N.C. He was 66.

Yes.
PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona woman accused of illegally collecting early ballots in the 2020 primary election pleaded guilty Thursday in an agreement with state prosecutors that saw the more serious forgery and conspiracy charges dismissed and limited any potential for a lengthy prison sentence.

Guillermina Fuentes, 66, could get probation for running what Arizona attorney general's office investigators said was a sophisticated operation using her status as a well-known Democratic operative in the border city of San Luis to persuade voters to let her gather and in some cases fill out their ballots.

Democrat Pleads Guilty to Ballot Stuffing in Pennsylvania

That thing that we are assured never happens, happened. Former Democrat US Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers has pled guilty to multiple charges related to a scheme to stuff ballot boxes for Democrat candidates between 2014 and 2018.

Myers has a checkered history, having been expelled from Congress for accepting bribes. Apparently, he didn’t learn his lesson and has been running a ring of corruption for decades…

This is, unfortunately, gives the likes of Trump and others something to stand on. In our elections today, there are far too many shenanigans and the system is far too ripe for things to happen. I've said before on here, the state of PA couldn't even provide backup documentation for their election results for a recount until the year 2018. That's crazy. There was literally no way to tell who won, other than the numbers the system spit out, until then, as there was literally no paper trail whatsoever of votes. And even today in PA, I still haven't seen the actual results of the GOP Senate race between McCormick and Oz (luckily, I'm still registered Dem so I didn't have to vote for either) - all we know is that McCormick conceded. That election happened a couple of weeks ago. Out election system is a mess right now - there's a wide range of how well states manage absentee ballots, a wide range of how states handle control of the ballots, and a wide range of how states handle the mechanics of elections in general. Trump is able to get people to believe his crap because the system is imperfect and we refuse to fix the things we can fix.

There were tons of shenanigans in the 2020 election. Enough to change the outcome? Who knows, but Donks took full advantage of the COVID related mitigation of voting regulations. The good part is that many states now know where they were vulnerable and took action to fix most of the problems.

Marxist SF DA Chesa Boudin was recalled. That's a huge tell about how fed up people are with the soft on crime and "criminal justice reform" Soros funded DA's. Gonna be an absolute blood bath in November. 8-)

It'll also be interesting to see how much the "school choice" platform gains this election cycle.

You can tell who’s watching the hearings by whether or not they still wonder if the election may have been stolen so “who knows?”

Here’s a hint. Even Trump knew it wasn’t within the first few weeks.
