The news out of North Carolina after a House election in that state has former CBS Nightly News anchor Dan Rather sounding an alarm:
A GOP victory in NC house race is under serious cloud of election fraud. Where's the outrage from those who've long used "voter fraud" mantra to suppress (mostly minority) votes? Rank hypocrisy. We need a hard, honest look at the injustices around how we vote.

That didn’t quite match up with what Rather’s tweeted in the past:

One more time — the triple shot:
GOP doesn't investigate Russian attack on our democracy. They don't want to investigate accusations against Kavanaugh. But when it comes to the myth of widespread "voter fraud" or conspiracy theories on Benghazi, they're all in. It's about political power, not power of the truth.

The sanctity of the vote is the foundation upon which all of our democratic institutions are built. Is our voting system unfair, poorly managed, and susceptible to manipulation? For sure. That is why we need to fix it not debase it with false attacks of voter fraud.

For over a year, Donald Trump has made dangerous and demonstrably false accusations about widespread voter fraud. He has shown no proof because there is none. https://t.co/nXaRS6Pu2w

And the chaser:

Courage!
I think the "What's the frequency, Kenneth?" episode knocked all of the sense out of his head. https://t.co/ECqDjKE37K
