A Republican elephant wearing a mask stands covered in I Voted stickers while holding a newspaper headlined North Carolina NC-9 Absentee Ballot Fraud. The figure declares that Democrats are trying to steal the election. The December 2018 cartoon responds to the ongoing investigation into absentee ballot irregularities in the NC-9 congressional race involving Republican candidate Mark Harris. Reports at the time detailed allegations of ballot harvesting and improper collection of absentee votes by individuals connected to the Harris campaign. The visual places the evidence of fraud directly on the Republican symbol while the character shifts blame outward.
