There is obvious fraud here by Republicans. Now the want to seat the guy in Congress. A new election is the right solution.
If the House doesn't want to seat a candidate, he doesn't get seated. Dems aren't trying to install the Dem candidate; they're just not going to recognize the election results, given the fraud case. Either Harris wins a special or he's not a congressman. https://t.co/EPPtWQXBwu

BREAKING: Rep @StenyHoyer tells @wsoctv that Mark Harris will NOT be seated on Jan 3.
“Given the now well-documented election fraud that took place in #NC09, Democrats would object to any attempt by Mr. Harris to be seated on January 3." #ncpol @wsoctv pic.twitter.com/Uf0IZIRfQY

Just in from a @McCreadyForNC spokesperson: "Mark Harris and his allies promised to support a complete investigation into this attack on our democracy. He has now broken this promise and is instead doing all he can to obstruct this bipartisan investigation." #NC09 #ncpol @wsoctv pic.twitter.com/qoBIKZZOUe

GOP in legislature used the lame duck session to change election law, allowing a primary if there's a new #NC09 election — ie, a chance to dump Harris. My cynical sense is that Woodhouse is trying to get the base thinking "stolen seat" either way https://t.co/A6qG4tozdQ

Dear fellow North Carolina friends, the GOP state legislature just voted to keep investigations of election fraud secret. Now GOP politicans can rig elections without the public knowing. That's just wrong. It's pure corruption.

Sources: Tomorrow Mark Harris will ask the NCSBE to certify #NC09. If that doesn't happen, republicans will ask a federal court to order the state to certify Harris as the winner. #ncpol @wsoctv
