unofficial ballot totals showed harris ahead of dan mccready by 905 votes.'s drew griffin explains. >> reporter: dave and christine, we have learned the criminal investigation has been going for nearly a year. it focuses not only on perhaps vote fraud, but also on the campaign financing behind it. at the center of it is a man named mccray dallas who was paid by the harris campaign to get out the absentee ballot vote in the county. we have done digging on mr. dallas. he worked on six different campaigns dating back to 2010. he was paid $23,000 for his work over those campaigns. get this, it turns out in almost all of the campaigns he worked on, his candidate got a disproportionately large amount of absentee ballots. that is the subject of the investigation now which could end upturning over this north carolina district nine congressional race. christine. dave. >> drew, thank you. that political operative, dowless, has denied any wrongdoing. we hear from the president about people changing a hat and clothes in the car. it would be nice to hear from the white h

>> well, this is as much of a charlotte story because mark harris and dan are both from charlotte.rict stretches from charlotte all the way down. it is a really long and interesting district in that respect. but as soon as we saw that the board of elections chose to not certify this race, we knew they had to have something big. and we didn't know what it was at first. eventually through sources and just being on the ground here, we were able to track down key players by going door to door, stopping by multiple times and eventually earning their trust to do interviews with us. that's how we really found out what was going on here. >> knocking on doors. sometimes you have to knock on doors and ask people to tell you their story. when that story is i went and collected absentee ballots, you know you are on to something. what is your feeling when they admitted to you that there was something not right, something criminal here? >> what they did was totally illegal. but at the same time, you kind of feel empathy for the people who were involved in this. they seemed sincere when they said

the bipartisan state election board decided not to certify the race between republican mark harris and democrat dany. the two are currently separated by just 905 votes and mcready had conceded. the associated press revoked its projection that harris had won. harris said he supports any effort to investigate. it all centered on unusual numbers from mail-in ballots. the charlotte observer found 64% of absentee ballots went unreturned in one county. the paper also found that unreturned ballots in some counties were disproportionately associated with -- >> sharing stories of voter who is said a person inappropriately stopped by their homes and collected their absentee ballots. one woman swearing the lady said she would finish her uncompleted absentee ballot on her behalf. >> republicans are crying foul over what they say is a lack of transparency from the elections board. that does it for us tonight here on "kasie dc." for now, good night from washington. jimmy's gotten used to his whole room smelling like sweaty odors. yup, he's gone noseblind. he thinks it smells fine, but his mom smells this... luck

republican mark harris had defeated the gop incumbent in the primary and then went on to win the general election by 905 votes over the democrat, dan mccready. a week later harris tweeted out this photo from the capitol, the incoming congressional class. there he is towards the back, looking all happy. it seemed like a done deal. but when it came time for the north carolina state board of elections to certify the results of that race, it voted unanimously not to certify north carolina's district 9. the nine-member state board made up of four democrats, four republicans and one unaffiliated member, they all voted not to certify this race, which was a surprise to pretty much everybody. and the reason they refused to certify it was the apparent tomfoolery that went on with the absentee mail-in ballots in the race in one county in particular, with an unusually high number of absentee ballots being requested and an unusually high percentage of those ballots never being returned. and of those that were returned, an unusually high number of those going for mark harris, the republican. the north carolina democratic party submitted to the s
