Dallas Woodhouse, executive director of the NC GOP, is reportedly open to a new election for the state’s 9th congressional district, saying he “threw up” (metaphorically, we assume) after watching a segment on election fraud possibly tied to Republican Mark Harris:
Breaking: Executive Director of NC Republicans says he’s open to new election in NC-9 Congressional race. Dallas Woodhouse told CNN’s Drew Griffin he was so upset after watching CNN’s coverage of alleged fraud last night, he threw up, “this has shaken us to the core.”

This is actually a big deal:
Wow. That’s no small thing given the extreme anti-democracy record of the GOP in North Carolina. #NC09 GOP candidate Mark Harris probably has a better chance of ending up in the big house than the U.S. House the way the election fraud evidence keeps piling up https://t.co/FJjShqT3L5

It appears the writing is on the wall as Nancy Pelosi warned state lawmakers that she gets to decide if Harris is seated or not:
Pelosi on #NC09: “The House still retains the right of who is seated. Any member elect can object to the seating of another member elect. So we’ll see how that goes.”
“House admin Comte will have full investigative authority to determine winner of election.”

.@NancyPelosi on #NC09: "This is bigger than that one seat. This is about undermining the integrity or our elections. What was done there was so remarkable."

And a group of GOP state legislatures is asking Governor Roy Cooper, a Democrat, to appoint a bipartisan task force to investigate:

Bishop asked why the state board can't be trusted to do a fair investigation. He says recent history indicates they "can’t get the job done"… again says they’ve done things that “smack of partisan taint” #NC09 #ncpol #ncga
