Mark Harris has won the Republican nomination for a U.S. House seat in North Carolina, giving the pastor a second chance to go to Washington after a 2018 absentee ballot scandal.
Harris will face Democrat Justin Dues in November in a district running from Charlotte east to Lumberton that was drawn to heavily favor Republicans.
While the investigation led to charges against several people and some convictions, Harris wasn’t charged, cooperated with investigators and called for a new election.
Harris did not run again, however, and the seat was won by Republican U.S. Rep. Dan Bishop.
In addition, Republicans Bishop and U.S. Rep. Patrick McHenry decided not to run again, opening their Republican-dominated districts to new representation.
