NORTH CAROLINA -- After Mark Harris called for a new election in the race for the 9th District and the state board followed suit, his main opponent is now announcing a second campaign.

• McCready held a rally on Friday announcing a second campaign
• He told supporters in Union County he's ready for round two
• As it relates to Mark Harris, his campaign manager says he plans to assess his health and then make a decision soon.

Dan McCready held a rousing rally with supporters who say they're geared up for another chance.

A day after State Board of Elections called for a new election in the 9th District, McCready held a rousing rally with supporters who say they're geared up for another chance.

This week's evidentiary hearing into election fraud in the 9th District re-energized McCready and his supporters.

A day after the state board voted for a new election, McCready held a rally in the 9th District Republican stronghold of Union County to tell people he's ready for round two.

"Folks, there's a lot of people that have had their confidence shaken in recent weeks, because of the fraud conducted by Mark Harris campaign...and it's hard to blame them because every time they see a politician get up to Washington, they see that politician do the wrong thing instead of the right thing. In North Carolina's 9th District that stops today," said McCready. 

It was standing room only inside the event space in downtown Waxhaw.

This will basically be a re-do for Dan McCready and his supporters. He asked that they once again be ready to knock on doors much like they did in the hotly contested first time around where Harris beat McCready by only 905 votes.

After the state board voted in November not to certify the results, McCready's campaign decided to fight.

He said the unanimous, bi-partisan decision from the state board Thursday showed that not only the state board found the race was tainted, but that the process of getting to the bottom of what happened worked.

McCready could be facing another tough campaign as people on both sides of the aisle have expressed interest in the 9th District seat.

We asked if his campaign may challenge the state law now requiring a primary in any special election. He said they're still waiting to see the ballot and may know next week.

As it relates to Mark Harris, his campaign manager says he plans to assess his health and then make a decision soon.
