McCrae Dowless is accused of harvesting ballots for Mark Harris' campaign in the 9th District Congressional race in North Carolina. This is the first Republican campaign he worked on. All the previous campaigns he worked on were for Democrats. And guess what -- those campaigns also included complaints of voter irregularities with absentee ballots.
Of course... since those other campaigns elected Democrats the complaints to the State Election Board controlled by Democrats were ignored --- all the way back to 2006.
Or as stated on the news... "He brought Democratic tactics to a Republican campaign".
‘The guru of Bladen County’ is at the center of NC’s election troubles

'Dowless had long voted in Democratic primaries but became a registered Republican after the 2016 general election. In 2012, he was paid for get-out-the-vote efforts for competing Democratic candidates in a state House race.
News reports indicate he has been doing campaign work at least as far back as 2006. He told The News Reporter of Whiteville in a 2010 article that he worked on then-District Attorney Rex Gore’s campaign that year."
In 2010, Dowless worked for the man Gore defeated, Harold “Butch” Pope, a Whiteville attorney. During that campaign, Pope and Dowless had to respond to concerns about Dowless’ criminal record. In 1992, Dowless was convicted of felony insurance fraud after he and his wife were accused of taking out an insurance policy on a dead man and collecting nearly $165,000 from his death. He served more than six months of a two-year prison sentence.
Pope knocked out Gore in the Democratic primary but lost the election to Jon David, who remains the district attorney for Bladen, Brunswick and Columbus counties. Pope said when he ran for the office “two or three people” called and told him he needed Dowless working for him in Bladen County.
“Someone told me McCrae Dowless is the guru of Bladen County,” Pope said in a phone interview.'
