RALEIGH, NC (WECT) - The North Carolina State Board of Elections on Friday announced that it will hold a public hearing on Jan. 11 regarding the board’s investigation into absentee ballot irregularities in the state’s 9th Congressional District.
The board initially announced during a meeting in November that they would hold the public hearing prior to Dec. 21. The new date means Republican Mark Harris, who beat Democrat challenger Dan McCready by 905 votes, will likely not be seated in time when Congress reconvenes on Jan. 3.
The hearing is set for 10 a.m., however, a location has not be determined yet.
The man at the center of the election fraud investigation, McCrae Dowless, worked for Harris’ campaign, and the state elections board has refused to certify the results because of the allegations of absentee ballot tampering.
