A campaign worker for Republican Mark Harris committed serious voter fraud in North Carolina.
The campaign worker had a known history of committing mass absentee ballot fraud, but Harris hired him anyway.
Harris has been claiming he had no idea the campaign worker was a crook. But now emails have surfaced that he was well aware of the crook's activities. And Harris's own son just testified that he warned his father not to hire the crook.
So Harris deliberately and knowingly hired a guy he knew cheated to win elections. And Harris hired the crook to work on absentee ballots. The very field of expertise for which he was known to cheat in!
Busted!

The younger Harris, who is 29, said he offered the advice to his father as he considered whether to hire Dowless to run his absentee-ballot program in the 2018 congressional race. He conveyed similar concerns to the campaign’s chief strategist, Andy Yates, he said. Mark Harris hired Dowless despite his son’s concerns, which he said he expressed starting in the spring of 2017.

Dowless, 63, a Bladen County native who declined to testify this week to avoid self-incrimination, is accused of doing just that in the 2018 cycle — hiring a team of workers to illegally collect, sign, forge and turn in ballots.

Both Yates and Harris have denied knowledge of those alleged tactics. But in another email from 2016 displayed during testimony Wednesday, the two Harrises discussed the anomalies that year — as well as the irony that Dowless had submitted a complaint to state elections officials that Democrats had employed similar tactics in Bladen County.
“Guess he didn’t like the Dems cutting into his business!” the elder Harris wrote.
