RALEIGH, N.C. North Carolina elections officials looking into allegations of ballot fraud in the countrys last undecided congressional election are finding that votes were counted days before Election Day in the rural county at the center of the disputed results.
The officials also said the election was marred by falsified signatures, blank ballots that consultants could complete and disappearing documents.
The state elections board on Tuesday heard from Bladen County poll workers who admitted tallying results on the Saturday before Election Day when early, in-person voting ended. Thats contrary to proper practice.
The poll workers, Agnes Willis and Coy Mitchell Edwards, said that while they and others could see who had the early lead in Bladen County sheriffs race, they didnt tell anyone.
That testimony contradicted the account of another poll worker, Michele Maultsby, who said earlier Tuesday that she never saw anyone view the tape listing the voting results that Saturday. Agnes Willis must have made an honest mistake when she said people saw the early voting totals, Maultsby said.
