That's strange enough to warrant a deeper look.

If nothing else, I want a reporter to visit the precinct which doubled (!) turnout between 2016 and 2018 while the county as a whole saw turnout go down 12%. Must be a fascinating place.

Is this a rhetorical question?

Why is it OK for you to mention the 2016 election, but others are not?

Is it because you are moderator?

Bro, how many of your posts mentioning 2016 have been moderated? You are allowed to post about it; you just don’t get shielded from responses to your posts.

Why do you think that The Mikado was interested in the doubling of votes cast in Bladenboro Precinct 1 (201)?

Do you think I would get a better response if I add

"Four legs good, bro! (drooling slavishly)?"

Considering all the facts you’re “ignoring” it makes as much sense as the rest of your commentary, so I think the response would be about the same.

You're pointing to a comment I made over a month ago.

Also, none of your posts here have been punished, just ignored and mocked because you are engaging in whataboutism. Bladen County has quite the shady history, but the matter at hand is A. what McCrae Dowless did in the election that just happened that is currently under investigation, B. What Harris knew about it, and C. Most importantly, knowing what we know now, what remedies should be taken. The answer to C cannot be "Bladen County's elections are always shady, so seat Harris anyway."

You're pointing to a comment I made over a month ago.

And I responded a month ago.

You noted the change in the election day voting in Bladenboro and Dublin relative to 2016, and jumped to a conclusion about what it meant. This suggests prejudice on your part. Rather than being curious, you were willing to start burning witches.

You then threw in a comment about it being a fascinating place as if there were a bunch of hicks running around with two heads. Pure bigotry.

Facts:

In 2016, there were early voting locations in Bladenboro, Dublin, and East Arcadia, in addition to the county seat of Elizabethtown. In 2018, only the early voting location in Elizabethtown was open.

Turnout was done 12.5% countywide in 2018. This is not surprising, given that there was a presidential, senatorial, and gubernatorial race in 2016, and only a congressional race in 2018.

While overall turnout was down, election day turnout was up; early voting in Elizabethtown was up; and absentee was up.

Early voting in Bladenboro, Dublin, and East Arcadia was zero.

Early voters from 2016 in these three locations was displaced to early voting in Elzabethtown, absentee voting and election day voting in home precincts.

This from the guy who said

Given that it was Democrats and this is in the rural South, could the Klan be behind it? It sounds like something the FBI should investigate.

Placed on ignore until this election is resolved.

May I suggest others do likewise? Preferably en masse.

This is nothing. It is well known that in 1978 the Democratic candidate 4 County Auditor down three blocks of Main Street pursued by a pack of reporters and they're hound dogs. I'm really not sure why anyone doesn't see that this is simply historical standards and not worthy of attention.

Just like the flight of Mary and Jesus to Egypt to escape persecution.

Pull a fire alarm to watch a football game to own the libs

Alabama should have pulled the alarm before the game started.

So is anything happening or is this seat gonna be empty till January 2021?

So is anything happening or is this seat gonna be empty till January 2021?

A large share of white Democratic voters in Bladen County voted for Republican candidates regardless of the manner in which they voted (absentee, early voting in-person, or election day  voting).

Did the McCready campaign in spending $44 per vote, blanket the Charlotte TV market and simply write off Bladen County, which is in the Wilmington market? Did the Bladen County Improvement Association target only black voters in their GOTV effort?

[Brittain33]

So is anything happening or is this seat gonna be empty till January 2021?

In Raleigh, a judge is hearing arguments by Crooked Mark Harris that the shuffling of the state board of elections renders various decisions invalid and he should have been certified despite his campaign's involvement in fraud. Attorneys for Rep-elect McReady are making the case for this to be thrown out.

Good.

Can anyone now order new primaries and a new GE please to get this sh*t over with ?

[The Mikado]

Aren't the current guesses that the new election won't be held until August/September at the earliest?
