- Cooley sends list of Democrat Candidates to seminar attendees along with presentation file
Kim Strach, Executive Director of the State Board of Elections, announced today that Dr. E. Lee Cooley has been fired.
Civitas reported last week that Dr. Cooley, in her capacity as Voter Outreach Coordinator, had instructed the public in a way that could cause them to break the law.
“A State Board of Elections employee recently misrepresented voting laws so badly that following her advice might be a crime – and Civitas has a recording of the whole talk.”
Strach said that Cooley had prepared her own PowerPoint presentation and that the presentation had not been vetted by anyone in the agency. She also said that there was no evidence that Cooley obtained the inaccurate information from anyone inside the agency. Strach also said that there was no evidence any other employee took part in this situation.
Strach said that elections officials have taken remedial measures starting with sending emails to attendee of the meeting who had received Cooley’s presentation via email.
Strach said that Cooley had sent a list of Democrat candidates along with presentation to all who attended the meetings.
Director Strach failed to communicate whether or not there was outside influence in Cooley’s presentation on absentee voting.
Chairman of the Board Graham Whitney wanted assurance that no other employee would go “rogue.”
Board Member Rhonda Amoroso asked if the matter had been sent to the D.A? The question was not answered.
Interesting to note, the two Democrat Board members remained silent during this part of the meeting.

HOW MANY MORE ARE THERE? Democra- fraud!

I’m just so sickened by it all. I want so much for our country to succeed but then I look at who we continue to elect. We usually have to wait for one to retire or die before we replace them. Wholesale change with a lot of auditing in the first year is what we need. Trillions have been wasted over the last 30 years right under our noses.
Doug says
There needs to be an investigation of the whole SBE organization. Anyone doing this kind of thing and favoring one set of candidates needs to be fired. Actually, a wholesale housecleaning needs to be done at this and other state departments that have been infiltrated with democrap operatives. DENER…we mean you.
Ken Foreman says
The best way to discourage fraud is to acknowledge that it is occurring, then prosecute the offender to the fullest extent possible.
The problem now is that District Attorneys treat these offense too lightly; there is no FEAR about their behavior. To the offender-The ends justify the means!
James says
3 cheers for Civitas!!! Keep digging, there’s more.
Heather Harrison says
Interesting? Ha! They were complicit even if by their refusing to correct her.
Wait for it…..voter fraud doesn’t occur! ?

As a native of Madison County and having operated a retail business there for 30 years plus serving 5 western N C counties including Madison in the N.C. State Senate I am well versed in election fraud since the N C State Board of elections was run from Madison county for many decades until republicans took control of state government. During my time as a Madison
County business owner I personally witnessed long lines of out of State Hispanics waiting to obtain drivers license at the Madison County DMV office and where they were registered to vote under the Motor voter act
with N C addresses!!! Don Carrington spent time in Marshall verifying these
actions!

Where’s the accountability for Ms. Strach?
It was good to see the Wells Fargo CEO be held accountable for the inexcusable actions of his employees … Kim Strach should also be held accountable.
Deplorable Infidel says
Ms. Strach did not know this BS was happening! Wonder what Cooley’s ‘doctorate’ is in ? Oh, probably social work, right ? …
Still things are way better overall than prior to 2010 …remember the totally corrupt democrackkks of the 90s-00s ? we don’t hear much outta those
crackkks anymore do we, except the occasional jim hunt belch.
Pete Gilbert says
Ms. Strach may not have of known but she is responsible for her employee’s actions. Maybe if we could get the State BOE out of bed with Bob Hall and his crowd we would see less of this behavior. Who recommended her for hiring? Who did her performance appraisal? They should also be gone. Keep asking about referring her for criminal prosecution, that needs to be answered. This should go to a grand jury. What are her ties to Rev. Fat man? This is not an isolated incident.
George Hague says
Thank you Civitas for your helping to expose this voter fraud, but we know it does not exist as long as the DA does not prosecute. Keep the pressure up Civitas!
Linda says
Internally the SBE needs to examine their hiring practices. Externally, this clearly rises to the level required for prosecution. She not only broke the law, but encouraged others, under color of authority, who looked to her for advice, to do so. Thank you Civitas!
Kathy Jenkins says
Wholesale overhaul! Clean house! Don’t sweep this under the rug! Hold the Director accountable … for God’s sake!
Jerre locke says
This is nothing new to North Carolina, or many other states these leftist communists have controlled many election since early days of democracy, this needs to be investigated, but can we find a unbiased law agency ? Unbiased people do exist but Unbiased judges are difficult to find as many were apointed as social engineers, willing to ignore the constitution as well as common law, the laws need to be enforced the country’s borders need to be protected as a country does not exist without Unbiased officials in prosecution and law enforcement, voter protection from fraud is a basic human right.
Rev Dr J Cooley says
What a disgrace to the Cooley name
tom wechtel says
the election board should be maned by equal parties both republicans and democrats,,,,,This would stop the fraud
Treasure Island says
Come on People! What was the Dr. Cooley thinking? At least we can see that someone was listening at the seminar. Often times these things get swept under the rug, until PA get’ a hold of it. Holding that positions, she should have know better.
Danny Moore says
This woman should be prosecuted under the full extent of the law. A felony conviction that would remove her right to ever cast a ballot again. If she isn’t prosecuted, you are telling others like her that it’s okay to break the law and commit voter fraud. Go ahead. Nothing will happen to you.
Gail Eaton says
I worked at the DMV with ‘Dr’ Cooley. None of what has happened surprises me in the least!
