Investigators from the N.C. State Board of Elections determined that Rawling, 59, ran or ordered others to run provisional ballots through tabulators more than once and made manual changes to the ballot count so the results of the provisional canvass would match the number of approved provisional ballots.
This didn’t affect the outcome or have a party or candidate preference. It was about someone not wanting to get in trouble for administrative incompetence.
