The political operative at the heart of the ballot-harvesting scandal that derailed a North Carolina congressional election was hit with Wednesday with criminal charges.
A grand jury in Wake County, North Carolina, handed down a seven-count criminal indictment against Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr., who ran a ballot-harvesting scheme for the campaign of Republican Mark Harris.
Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman announced the charges, which included obstruction and illegal ballot possession related to the 2016 and 2018 elections.
