North Carolina’s board of elections “refused to certify the results of the 9th congressional district election after one board member cited what he called ‘unfortunate activities’ in the eastern part of the district,” the Charlotte Observer reports.
“It’s unclear what those activities involved or what the failure to certify might mean. The board discussed the matter in closed session.”
Unofficial results show Mark Harris (R) defeated Dan McCready (D) by 905 votes.
