It is on.

The winner for the 9th congressional district in North Carolina was declared in November, about 24 hours after polls closed. The Democratic candidate, Dan McCready conceded the election to his Republican rival, Mark Harris.

But now McCready has rescinded that concession.


In an interview on Charlotte, North Carolina TV station WSOC, McCready first made the announcement. The candidate later went to Twitter to alert voters of his decision.

McCready posted:

"I didn’t serve overseas in the Marines to come home to NC and watch a criminal, bankrolled by my opponent, take away people’s very right to vote."
"Today I withdraw my concession and call on Mark Harris to end his silence and tell us exactly what he knew, and when."

Watch his statement here.

So what prompted McCready's change of heart?

Mounting evidence of voter fraud with possible ties to the Harris campaign began to emerge last week. In his video on Twitter McCready stated:

"Last week we began to learn about shameful criminal activity, bankrolled by my opponent, to take away North Carolinians very rights to vote."

Suspicions were aroused when an unusual number of absentee ballots from two counties that might favor the Democratic candidate were never returned. Residents with missing ballots stated their ballots had been collected.

Bladen County has a large Black population and 40% of absentee ballots not returned. Robeson County has a large Native American community and 62% of absentee ballots are unreturned.

Then last week, three individuals came forward to state they were hired to collect absentee ballots—an illegal act—by a representative of Republican candidate Mark Harris. Harris has yet to comment on the matter.

Harris lead McCready by just 905 votes, 49.4% to 48.8% after all submitted ballots were counted. McCready called on Harris to comment on the controversy and assured the people of NC-09 that he will pursue answers about what happened to their votes.

People are shocked and outraged over the revelations.

And McCready garnered support for his decision to rescind his concession in the midst of the ballot fraud allegations against the Harris campaign.

Some called on President Donald Trump to denounce the man he endorsed—Mark Harris—and support McCready if he cares about voting fraud like he claimed in the past.

North Carolina GOP officials stated they were open to a new election "if necessary." But some people do not think Harris should be on a ballot and McCready should be declared the winner.

People who said they were hired to collect absentee ballots pointed to McCrae Dowless, working on behalf of GOP candidate Harris. Dowless has a felony record and convictions for perjury and financial fraud. This is not the first time Dowless was hired to work on a GOP campaign.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
