“The do-over election in Pembroke that is scheduled for March 11 is likely to produce results that town’s residents can trust, but it also might provide additional evidence of fraud in the Nov. 5 election for those who stubbornly cling to the notion that there was none — assuming those people exist.

The last time we did this dance was in 2007, when a Lumberton City Council election ended in a tie and then months later, one of those candidates, the incumbent, defeated the other, the challenger, in a relative landslide. That raised eyebrows, but not much more. At that time there was no determined investigation of how the results from two elections featuring the same candidates in the same district only months apart could be so disparate.”
