State Board continues investigation into 9th Congressional District irregularities; January 11 hearing postponed

RALEIGH, N.C. – The State Board of Elections continues its investigation into irregularities affecting absentee voting in the 9^th Congressional District. 

Only seated State Board members can hold evidentiary hearings, certify elections, order new elections, or hear election protests. Accordingly, the hearing previously scheduled for January 11 is postponed. All subpoenas remain legally effective.

“State Board staff will continue to interview witnesses and pursue leads as part of this investigation,” said Kim Westbrook Strach, executive director of the State Board of Elections. “This agency remains steadfast in its obligation to ensure confidence in the elections process.”
