North Carolina Senate Leader Phil Berger posted an article<\/a> on Friday detailing the recent illegal actions of the North Carolina Board of Elections.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Meeting minutes from the Sept. 15 closed session of the State Board of Elections reveal a bombshell. The collusive settlement \u201cnegotiated\u201d between the Democratic attorneys with the Board of Elections, the N.C. Department of Justice and national Democrats went way beyond the bounds of what the state Board of Elections had originally authorized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the very beginning of the meeting, Democratic attorneys falsely told Republican Board members that \u201cprivilege\u201d forbade them from speaking to anybody about the collusive settlement. This apparent effort to muzzle the Republican members further supports the fact that Democrats went to great lengths to conceal their secret negotiations with Marc Elias.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Minutes<\/a> clearly show that Board of Elections members authorized settlement terms that included keeping the witness requirement on absentee ballots and <\/span>prohibiting unmanned ballot drop boxes<\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

But that’s not what the conclusive statement reported:<\/p>\n

But the collusive settlement announced this week does the exact OPPOSITE of what the Board authorized. If accepted by a judge, the settlement would violate state law by allowing absentee ballots with no witness information. All the \u201cvoter\u201d would have to do is sign a form, which also does not require a witness<\/span>. That effectively eliminates the witness requirement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article lists the things that collusive statement would approve:<\/p>\n

1. Permit anonymous outdoor absentee ballot drop boxes<\/span>. The law forbids anybody other than a voter or a voter\u2019s near relative from delivering an absentee ballot and requires the Board of Elections to record who returns every ballot. But the collusive consent order filed today allows outdoor \u201cabsentee ballot drop-off stations\u201d and says, \u201ca county board may not disapprove a ballot solely because it is placed in a drop box.\u201d The Democratic-controlled Board was kind enough to require signs on the drop boxes that tell ballot harvesters they\u2019re not really supposed to use them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Eliminate witness requirements for absentee ballots<\/span>. State law requires one witness to sign an absentee ballot and legibly include his or her name and address. But the collusive consent order submitted today effectively eliminates that requirement. If an absentee ballot is submitted without the required witness information, the Democratic-controlled Board of Elections will just mail a form to the address to which the ballot was sent, and the form can be returned with no witness information. The form can be returned nine days after the election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

3. Extend the time period in which an absentee ballot can be received by the Board to nine days after the election<\/span>. State law requires absentee ballots to be received no later than three days after Election Day. This is to allow for a timely vote count and eliminate the possibility of \u201cfinding\u201d enough \u201cnew\u201d absentee ballots to sway the outcome of the election. But the collusive consent order unilaterally rewrites state law to provide nine full days of uncertainty and opportunity for gamesmanship after Election Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is an invitation to election fraud and needs to be stopped in its tracks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
