Top officials with the North Carolina Republican Party said they believe early vote totals in Bladen County were leaked before the election and, if confirmed, “a new election is appropriate” in the state’s 9th Congressional District. The Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer reported Monday that early voting totals from Bladen County may have been leaked. Documents released by the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement show that early voting tabulations were run several days before the Nov. 6 election in Bladen County. A witness who signed that vote tabulation wrote in a sworn affidavit that the totals were “viewed by officials at the one-stop site who were not judges.”
