The disclosure by the Harris campaign frustrated investigators, who were presented with the evidence only on Wednesday, despite a subpoena from the North Carolina State Board of Elections for the relevant documents months ago.

…Harris has said publicly since the investigation began in December that he was unaware of any illegal acts that may have been done on behalf of his campaign. He reiterated that in his testimony Thursday.

…But Harris’ son, John Harris, testified Wednesday that he warned his father that he thought Dowless was likely engaged in illegal practices as part of his operation.

John Harris says he reviewed the absentee ballot results of the 2016 race and concluded Dowless was using illegal tactics to help Johnson.

…The question of what Harris knew about the operation in the eastern part of the 9th District is important for State Board of Elections as it must decide whether any “improprieties” occurred to an extent that would cast doubt on the election’s fairness. If that is determined to be the case, the board has the authority to call a new election in the district.
