North Carolina election officials have subpoenaed the campaign of the GOP candidate who may see his unofficial victory in a U.S. House race tossed out after claims of a potential absentee ballot fraud scheme, the Washington Post reported.
Republican Mark Harris’ campaign was subpoenaed on Monday, according the Post, while Red Dome Group, a consulting firm Harris (pictured above) hired, is expected to be subpoenaed in the days to come. State election officials and other investigators are probing anomalies in the mail-in ballot counts in the district, where the numbers were particularly outside the norm in Bladen County and Robeson County.
Bladen County reported the highest mail-in ballot return rate in the state, and Harris won 61 percent of those ballots, despite only 19 percent of them having been sent in by registered Republicans. During his primary against incumbent Republican Rep. Robert Pittenger, Harris claimed 96 percent of the mail-in ballots in Bladen County— a rate much higher than his general performance in the county.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections last week declined to certify Harris’ unofficial victory — where his lead over Democrat Dan McCready is just 905 votes — and voted to hold a hearing later this month on any potential evidence of fraud turned up in its investigation into the irregularities. The board could vote to call a whole new election.

Some Republicans on the election board must be cooperating. It's a Christmas miracle.
