Editorial: N.C. GOP, more than state Elections Board, needs transparency
Tuesday, Dec. 18, 2018 -- There are important questions to be answered before the Ninth Congressional District election is certified. Were absentee ballots cast, particularly in Bladen County, actually legitimate votes? What happened to thousands of absentee ballots that were requested but never returned? State GOP Chairman Robin Hayes, Senate leader Phil Berger, House Speaker Tim Moore and other Republican leaders routinely make demands and accuse others of failing to do their jobs and lacking transparency. They need to stop the finger pointing and start working for fair districts, fair access, and fair elections.
