Democrats Illegally Transport Voters in North Carolina

On Monday of this week, Democrats in North Carolina clearly violated North Carolina state law in their efforts to turn out the vote for Barack Obama. 

At roughly 10 a.m., two vans of students who worked at the North Carolina Jobs Corps location in Oconoluftee were transported from that location to the Swain County Board of Education one-stop voting location in order to cast their votes. The vans used to carry the passengers were Job Corps vans driven by Danny Muse, the son of O’neal Muse, a Democrat Swain County Board of education election official.

North Carolina law specifies that it is illegal to use Swain County Transit Vehicles, which are funded by the federal government, to transport voters to polling places. The Hatch Act clearly states that federal employees who work off-duty in partisan activities “May not engage in political activity while using a government vehicle.”
