The political operative at the center of the election fraud scandal in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, Leslie McCrae Dowless, was indicted today by the Wake County district attorney's office.
Dowless faces three felony counts of obstruction of justice, two counts of conspiracy to commit obstruction of justice and two counts of possession of absentee ballots.
The district attorney's office says it met with investigators for the North Carolina State Board of Elections, which ordered a new election in the 9th District last week after hearing testimony about absentee ballot tampering allegedly masterminded by Dowless, who worked for the consulting firm involved in Republican Mark Harris' 2018 campaign.
