Robeson County Resolution: 9th District

Resolution of the Robeson County Republican Party

WHEREAS,  the Robeson County Board of Elections has certified the results of both the 2018 Primary & General Elections for the 9^thCongressional District; and

WHEREAS, The North Carolina State Board of Elections has refused to certify the results for the 9^thCongressional District; and

WHEREAS, every political race in both Bladen & Robeson Counties has been certified using the same ballots in question by the North Carolina State Board of Elections; and

WHEREAS, there has been no public evidence that enough ballots in question would alter the race and similar concerns were expeditiously dismissed by the State Board in 2016; and

WHEREAS, Robeson county will lack representation in the United States House of Representatives in the 116^thCongress beginning January 3^rd, 2019 as hearings have been delayed until after Congress is seated harming the citizens of our county; and

WHEREAS, no local protests have been filed in Robeson County by any candidate for the 9^thCongressional District.

NOW THEREFORE, The Robeson County Republican Party by vote of the entire Executive Committee hereby adopt the following resolution:

RESOLVED, The Robeson County Republican Party hereby respectfully requests that the North Carolina State Board of Elections immediately certify the results of the 9^thCongressional District just as every county board of elections within the 9^thCongressional District has already certified the results.
