That thing that Democrats claim never happens is happening again.

An alleged cash-for-votes scandal is currently taking place in North Carolina, specifically in local elections in the city of Wilmington.

The scandal involves Democrats, naturally, who are supposedly offering people a cool $100 per vote.

The Carolina Journal reported:

Alleged cash-for-vote scheme in Wilmington elections

An alleged cash-for-votes scheme tied to Wilmington’s municipal elections has been referred to the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) for further investigation as voters in New Hanover County cast ballots for city council.

A New Hanover County voter claims they received text messages offering payment in exchange for voting for three Democratic city council candidates. According to text messages, the voter was promised $100 per candidate vote.

The North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP) reviewed unredacted text messages it received before forwarding them to the State Board of Elections for further investigation.

NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons commented on the importance of fair, free, honest, and transparent elections.

“This is troubling. An allegation of paying a voter and attempting to buy votes in an election is an affront to our shared values,” Simmons said in a press release. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to the integrity of honest elections and will continue to work diligently to keep North Carolina elections fair, free, honest, and transparent.”

John Hinnant, the chairman of the New Hanover County Republican Party, told Carolina Journal it’s important for voters to stay vigilant during election season.

Matt Van Swol, who lives in North Carolina, tweeted about this:

Update: this has been 100% confirmed by the North Carolina GOP.

There will be investigations and people will be held accountable.

As you may recall, during the 2024 election, Democrats were really hoping for North Carolina to go blue. Thankfully, it did not.

This story is an important reminder of why people must remain vigilant on issues related to voting. There is always someone looking to cheat.
