I think it is fair to say that they should have done more investigation before jumping head first into the media pool with unsubstantiated assumptions.

If one were to take RNC chairman Sean Spicer (who has already taken to social media to pronounce the findings as proof of double voting) and examine the roll of registered voters in this nation, there are 20 others with the same name and the same birthday.
That is the only criteria used to claim the 35K people are all examples of fraud. So, do we presume that Spicer is guilty of 20 counts of fraud all by himself?

The 765 people with same name, birthday and last 4 digits of social security number is only slightly more reliable, although there are over 45000 people assigned the same last 4 digits of the social security number.
However, how many mistakes were made by poll workers in checking off people, and how many are cases of matching name, birthday, and last 4 digits of different people.

North Carolina is on the forefront of repressive voting laws, and have likely leaped to erroneous conclusions in their haste to justify their actions.
And I do not discount even slightly, the possibility that they know damn well that their findings are not proof, but are banking on people only reading the bombshell breaking news, and never catching the rest of the story when it finally comes out.
