Aspecial election was held on September 10, 2019, to fill the vacancy inNorth Carolina's 9th congressional district in theUnited States House of Representatives for the remainder of the116th United States Congress . The seat had been vacant since the opening of the 116th Congress, following the refusal of theNorth Carolina State Board of Elections to certify the results of theNovember 2018 election in the district due to allegations ofelectoral fraud .[ 1]
In the original election,Mark Harris , a Republican, led DemocratDan McCready by 905 votes in the unofficial returns for the2018 North Carolina's 9th congressional district election . However, allegations of fraud in the election prevented its certification.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4]
The primary was held on May 14, 2019, and the general election was held on September 10. A total of 10 Republican candidates qualified for the primary.[ 5] Democratic Party nominee in the 2018 election, ran again and faced no primary opposition.[ 6] Republicans , neither Harris norRobert Pittenger , theincumbent whom Harris defeated in the 2018primary election , filed to run.[ 7] [ 8] [ 9]
After winning the Republican primary by a large margin,[ 10] Dan Bishop narrowly won the general election, garnering 50.7% of the vote to McCready's 48.7%.[ 11] [ 12]
A House of Representatives office remained vacant, awaiting the winner of the disputed election. The 2018 congressional district election ended with RepublicanMark Harris leading Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes, the closest race in the district in over sixty years. While McCready had conceded defeat, theNorth Carolina Democratic Party alleged thatelectoral fraud had taken place, and filed affidavits with theNorth Carolina State Board of Elections alleging that independent contractors working on behalf of Harris had illegally collected absentee ballots (ballot harvesting ).[ 13] [ 14] Leslie McCrae Dowless , a campaign operative with felony fraud and perjury convictions, who was hired by the Harris campaign.[ 15] Steny Hoyer announced that theUnited States House of Representatives would not seat Harris until the fraud investigation had been completed.[ 16]
After a delay caused by restructuring of the Board of Elections and delayed appointment of members by Republican allies of Harris, the board set hearings to begin on February 18, 2019. On that day the regulator reported that it had found evidence of "a coordinated, unlawful and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme" that may have involved more than 1,000 ballots or ballot request forms.[ 17] [ 18]
On February 21, Harris announced that "the public's confidence in the ninth district seat general election has been undermined to an extent that a new election is warranted." The Board of Elections voted unanimously to call a special election, with a primary if necessary on May 14, to fill the vacancy.[ 4] [ 19] [ 9]
Dowless was indicted and arrested on February 27, 2019. He faced felony charges of obstruction of justice, conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice and two possession of absentee ballots charges.[ 20] [ 21]
