North Carolina's 'bathroom bill' sponsor wins in special primary, will run as GOP candidate in September rerun of 2018 House race via ReutersTV
- A state senator who was a leading sponsor of North Carolina’s much-maligned “bathroom bill” won a decisive victory on Tuesday in a special primary to choose the Republican nominee for a rerun of a 2018 congressional race marred by election fraud.
An investigation found a Republican political operative ran a scheme in which volunteers improperly collected, and sometimes filled in, absentee ballots to the benefit of the Republican nominee in that race, Mark Harris. Bishop, closely aligned with Trump and considered a front-runner in the primary rerun, was a chief sponsor of a controversial bill enacted in 2016 by North Carolina’s legislature restricting public restroom access for transgender people.
The bipartisan state Board of Elections ordered a new vote for the 9th District in February after a four-day hearing in which election officials presented evidence of what they called a well-funded campaign to tip the election by a political operative, Leslie McCrae Dowless, working for Harris.
