The ninth congressional district of N Carolina is a congressional district in south-central North Carolina. The commune'due south electric current boundaries were redrawn in February 2022 afterward a U.S. Commune Court overturned the existing boundaries considering of politically directed gerrymandering that suppressed minority representation.^[4] The new congressional district consists of Union, Anson, Richmond, Scotland, and Robeson counties; a southeast portion of Mecklenburg Canton; and parts of Cumberland and Bladen counties.

Republicans have held this district since 1963. Republican Robert Pittenger had represented the district since January 2013. In 2018, Pittenger was defeated by challenger Marking Harris in the Republican main. The latter faced Democrat Dan McCready in the full general election.

Harris was initially called as the winner by several hundred votes, but the result was not certified, awaiting a statewide investigation into allegations of absentee ballot fraud.^{[five] [6]} On February 21, the bipartisan State Election Board unanimously voted to call for a new election for the 9th district, because of ballot fraud by Republican operatives.^[7]

A special election was held September 10, 2019, with Democrat Dan McCready running confronting Republican Dan Bishop, a country senator who won the Republican primary.^[eight] Bishop won the 2022 special election to the U.S. House of Representatives with 50.seven% of the vote to McCready'south 48.seven%.^{[9] [10]}

2018 election [edit]

In the Republican primary incumbent Robert Pittenger was defeated by former pastor Mark Harris, who had closely challenged him two years earlier.^[xiii] Harris won 48.five percent of the vote to Pittenger's 46.2 percent.^[14]

The New York Times described the election betwixt Harris and Democrat Dan McCready as a "top-tier competition".^[fifteen] In results on election twenty-four hour period, Harris defeated McCready by 905 votes, but on November 27, 2018, the North Carolina Country Board of Elections and Ideals Reform declined to certify the election results, citing voting irregularities involving absentee ballots.^{[xvi] [17]} The irregularities in counting and handling of absentee ballots became the subject of a criminal investigation.^[xviii]

Outlets such equally the Associated Press^[19] and FiveThirtyEight ^[twenty] subsequently retracted calling the race, awaiting the conclusion of the land lath of elections. On December 1, the chair of the state elections board resigned, maxim: "The investigation of criminal conduct and absentee voting fraud in the 2022 Republican primary and 2022 full general election in congressional commune ix is a matter of vital importance to our republic", adding that "I volition non let myself to exist used as an musical instrument of lark in this investigation".^[21]

On November 30, the election lath of the district decided to hear bear witness well-nigh "claims of numerous irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities" at a coming together to be held by Dec 21. A finding of fraud could have resulted in a new ballot.^[22]

On December v, 2018, independent investigative reporting of the alleged vote thefts detailed a do that targeted southern rural elderly black voters in the ninth district congressional race and termed the thing, "...the virtually serious federal election tampering instance in years." Campaign workers revealed that the vote tampering went on in a pervasively chaotic atmosphere. Operatives tracked votes and field workers "...would come up to your house, they would get you to make full out an absentee ballot to be sent to your firm. They would go back and pick information technology upwardly and then seal it and then notice 2 witnesses," to certify their validity. Such handling of ballots and completed applications by other than board and postal workers is legally prohibited. An informant tabulated the number of ballots delivered to the county election board and said an indicted leader gave the Harris campaign updates on the operation's well-nigh recent totals. The leader was employed by Red Dome political consultants which received over $428,000 from the Harris entrada. The informant had delivered 185 absentee ballot applications and the leader personally delivered 592 more.^[23] On December 6, Autonomous candidate McCready withdrew his earlier submitted election concession.^[24] Republican candidate Harris agreed for a new election to be held if allegations of election fraud could be proven by the ballot board to have affected the competition'southward outcome.^[25] The leader of the North Carolina Republicans, Robin Hayes, stated on December xi that, regardless to what extent ballot fraud could be proven to have altered the election, a new ballot would be necessary in the country's 9th congressional district if investigators can verify a local newspaper report that early voting results in Bladen County were leaked before Election Day.^{[26] [27]}

On Dec 28, the state court dissolved the country election board, before it had certified ballot results.^{[28] [29]} The election board'due south staff announced that it would continue the investigation, simply delayed hearings until a new election board was seated, presumably on Jan 31.^{[30] [31]} Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's attempts to fill an interim lath were overridden past the Republican-controlled legislature.^[28] Incoming The states House of Representatives Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat, appear that the House of Representatives would non seat Harris under any circumstances until the fraud investigation is completed.^[32] Harris announced he would seek courtroom intervention to take him immediately certified as the winner and stated his intention to bring together the 116th Congress on January iii.^{[33] [34]} Nevertheless, Harris was not permitted to bring together the new Congress on January 3.

On Feb 21, the bipartisan state board of elections voted to agree a new ballot, because, according to board chairman Bob Cordle, "irregularities and improprieties ... tainted the results ... and cast doubt on its fairness."^[35] A newly passed constabulary by the North Carolina state legislature volition require the parties to hold new primaries before the general election for this seat.^[36] Harris has said that he will not run again.

2019 special ballot [edit]

Democrat Dan McCready, a veteran and business executive, was unopposed as his party'south nominee for this seat, following his narrow initial loss to Mark Harris in the ballot voided considering of declared ballot fraud by Republican operatives. After the Republicans conducted their chief, they nominated Dan Bishop, a North Carolina land senator, to run in the special ballot to be held in September 2019.^[viii] On September 10, 2019, Bishop narrowly won the election with 50.7% of the vote to McCready's 48.7%.^{[ix] [37]} He was sworn in on September 17, 2019.^[38]
