In the North Carolina county where a congressional
election was scrapped last year after suspected ballot tampering, voters say the county's history of underhanded politics makes them wonder whether fairness will continue beyond next week's special election.
"In this county, I've always had doubts," said Jerry Jackson, a Bladen County native now retired after careers as a U.S Coast Guard lieutenant and
prison case manager.
State
elections officials say the same investigators who documented the fraud last year are again ready to dig in if any irregularities are spotted during do-over balloting for the 9th Congressional District race between
Republican Dan Bishop, Democrat Dan McCready and two others.
