One month after Election Day, all eyes are on North Carolina's 9th Congressional District.
Republican Mark Harris scored an apparent victory in the district, defeating Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes in November. But North Carolina's state board of elections has not certified the results of the election, citing irregularities among mail-in absentee ballots. The board plans a hearing on or before Dec. 21.
The 9th District stretches from Charlotte to Fayetteville, hugging the South Carolina border. It is currently represented by Rep. Robert Pittenger, a Republican whom Harris defeated in May's Republican primary.
