LUMBERTON, N.C. — The North Carolina legislature Wednesday approved a bill requiring new primary elections if the state elections board calls for a second vote of an election. The measure opens the door for Republicans to consider replacing Mark Harris, their candidate in the disputed race in the Ninth Congressional District.
The legislation, if signed by the governor, means Republicans would get to choose whether to stick with Mr. Harris, who appeared to have narrowly won a primary and general election — both now buffeted by allegations of irregularities including tainted absentee ballots — or replace him in the general election.
Mr. Harris appeared to have won the November general election against his Democratic opponent, Dan McCready, by 905 votes.
The State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement refused to certify the election last month and could order the election to be conducted a second time. The board plans to hold a hearing in the next few days or weeks to explore whether absentee ballots were illegally handled or altered by L. McCrae Dowless Jr., a political operative who worked for Mr. Harris.
