The North Carolina elections board has issued subpoenas to the Harris campaign and its general consultant, Red Dome Group. And he decided to hire him despite warnings about Dowless’s criminal record and Dowless’s own public testimony describing questionable election tactics. “Apparently either the Harris campaign or Mark Harris never vetted him,” she said. It was the latest sign of state Republicans backing away from earlier demands that the state board immediately certify Harris as the winner. The state board declined to do that last month, launching an investigation instead and planning to hold a hearing by Dec. 21.
