An alleged vote-for-cash scheme is rocking Wilmington, North Carolina, and has thrown the municipal election into chaos.
The case has already been referred to the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE), with a New Hanover County voter claiming that they were offered $100 in cash to vote for the Democratic candidates on the ballot.
Identifying information such as names and phone numbers have been removed, but the content of the alleged messages is still quite disturbing.
“Hey [redacted] just following up on our conversation from the No Kings Protest. Just a heads up that the Wilmington City Council election is coming up soon. Three Democratic candidates on the ballot are [redacted]. You can read about all the candidates and find voting details on the New Hanover County Board of Elections site,” the message from the unknown person reads. “Each candidate will pay you 100 dollars for your vote.”
“After you vote, one of our team members will meet you in her car near your polling place and pay you cash money,” the unidentified messenger explains. “We can arrange transportation if needed.”
“This is troubling. An allegation of paying a voter and attempting to buy votes in an election is an affront to our shared values,” said North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) Chairman Jason Simmons. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to the integrity of honest elections and will continue to work diligently to keep North Carolina elections fair, free, honest, and transparent.”
