On Monday, North Carolina’s elections director, Kim Strach, said she found evidence of fraud tainting the District 9 House race, the last undecided contest nearly three months after the 2018 midterms. Strach said her investigation found “a coordinated, unlawful and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme” connected to Republican candidate Mark Harris. Strach also said they discovered that “efforts were made to obstruct this investigation and the testimony provided at this hearing.”
Ms. Strach detailed the findings at an evidentiary hearing before a new state Board of Elections, which will decide whether to certify the Nov. 6 results or call for a new election.
