NC Republicans will probe 'millions' of claims
of modems 'tampering votes' __
But - the machines are not connected
to the internet.
Republican legislators announced they're
investigating possible election fraud in one
of the North Carolina counties that backed
President Joe Biden.
State Rep. Jeff McNeely (R-Iredell) conducted
a "random drawing" of a county name pulled
from a hat, and Durham County --
where Biden carried nearly 81 percent of the
vote and which Republicans have previously
accused of voter fraud -- was chosen for scrutiny
similar to a shoddy "audit" recently conducted
in Arizona, reported WRAL-TV.
"We look forward to working with them, proving
that our elections were true and were valid and
there was nothing wrong with them,"
McNeely said.
"If that's not the case, then we look to do an investigation,
and if there needs to be criminal charges, they will be filed.
We will also be accommodated and assisted
by the [General Assembly] police in our investigation,
and they will be the ones that will help us go
and find any evidence and help us secure it."
GOP legislators say they've received "many, many
millions of accusations" of "machine tampering
votes being switched because of modems,"
although__
voting machines in the state do not have
modems and are not connected to the internet.
"The state board has received no credible evidence that the certified results are not accurate, and elected officials from both sides of the aisle have stated that the 2020 general election in North Carolina was conducted fairly."
Bell and county elections officials said inspection
of the voting equipment by unauthorized individuals
would not be allowed,
but McNeely said he would go to the county himself after next month's runoff elections to make sure machines are
"safely locked
up and secure."
