===1930 Senate election in North Carolina===
In the 1930 U.S. Senate election in [[North Carolina]], [[Josiah Bailey]] defeated incumbent Democrat insurrectionist Furnifold Simmons in the primaries and, in the general election facing Republican George Pritchard, purportedly won by over 100,000 votes.<ref name="1930 NC Sen">[https://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/contested_elections/115Pirchard_Bailey.htm The Election Case of George M. Pritchard v. Josiah W. Bailey of North Carolina (1933)]. ''senate.gov''. Retrieved February 16, 2021.</ref> Pritchard filed a petition on March 3, 1931 to oppose the "official" results, charging that election fraud had given Bailey an unfair advantage. He specifically claimed that every one of the 1,800 voter registrars were tied to the Democratic Party to provide an unfair advantage for Bailey, that Democrat poll judges forced Republican poll watchers to stand from distances too far to observe ballot boxes, that intimidation of voters was present as well as the tampering of ballots.

The U.S. Senate authorized the Privileges and Elections Committee to investigate the election;<ref name="1930 NC Sen"/> Bailey sent a request to dismiss the charges on the basis that he would have been the winner even if there was to be a recount. A subcommittee ultimately ruled the charges against Bailey were too vague and did not warrant the need for either a recount nor a full investigation, and the contest was dismissed by the Senate without a vote. Bailey was subsequently awarded $1,500 for legal expenses, and $4,000 for Pritchard.
