The polls before the 2018 election for 9th Congressional District in NC was a dead heat. One week there was a small margin in favor of Dan McCready and the next week that same margin was in favor of Mark Harris. When realizing the public polls are completely unclear to the outcome of that race, it needs to be reinstated as an open seat and the candidates should continue to raise election monies in anticipation of the new election.

Raleigh - The stepdaughter of a Bladen County political operativen(click here) detailed how she said his ballot harvesting operation worked on the first day of a hearing Monday into voting irregularities in the unresolved 2018 election in North Carolina’s 9th Congressional District.
Lisa Britt, whose mother was married to Leslie McCrae Dowless in the early 1990s, testified that Dowless paid workers to collect absentee ballot request forms and mail-in absentee ballots and drop them off at his office and his home.
She said Dowless and others made copies of request forms and had specific criteria for matching pen colors, where to mail ballots from, how many to mail at a time and even how to place stamps to avoid setting off alarms.
“He fussed at me for putting on stamps upside down,” Britt testified before the N.C. Board of Elections. “We didn’t want to throw up a red flag.”...
Keeping with the strange and unlawful out of North Carolina is the loss of watches shipped via FedEx.

A repair shop in Southern Pines, North Carolina (click here) has filed a lawsuit against FedEx, say the company delivered a package that was missing watches worth almost $50,000, according to court records.
A repair shop in North Carolina says it shipped watches worth almost $50,000 through FedEx. But the retailer instead got just a padded envelope, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court.
Cote Timeworks, which is based in Southern Pines, says FedEx was negligent and “didn’t take responsibility, forcing it to pay out-of-pocket to compensate its watch-less clients,” the Triangle Business Journal wrote.
The watch business in a lawsuit filed Tuesday said it paid to ship five watches to New Hampshire and back so that work could be done on them. The items included an 18-karat gold Rolex worth almost $20,000, according to a court document.
A Cote worker in July 2017 signed for the North Carolina-bound package, which was missing all five watches, the lawsuit said....
North Carolina forensics can't determine a wolf from a dog? Here is a reality check for North Carolina; I betcha is was a domesticated wolf. Domesticated wolves are not all that unusual in "the woods" of NC. Ah, "The Dire Wolf."
What do these issues prove about lawlessness in North Carolina?

Beaufort County - A North Carolina teacher has died, (click here) three days after she was attacked by an unknown animal.
Brenda Hamilton, 77, had been in critical condition at Vidant Medical Center since Friday morning's attack outside of Pantego. Members of the woman's family confirm that she passed away this morning at the hospital.
Hamilton was an English teacher at Pungo Christian Academy, having taught at the school since 1968.
Biologists with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission performed preliminary DNA tests over the weekend.
Originally, authorities said the woman was killed by a domesticated animal. But now deputies say test results from DNA evidence found on her clothing do not differentiate between wild K9s, such as wolves or coyotes, and domesticated dogs.
Deputies are now collecting DNA from dogs in the area for additional testing.
Wildlife officers say this morning they turned all their evidence over to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.
