A prominent North Carolina campaign finance watchdog has filed formal complaints against two Cumberland County Board of Elections members. The allegations center on potential violations of state election law.
The complaints, submitted to the North Carolina State Board of Elections, target the local officials for their roles in overseeing the 2022 primary and general elections. The filings allege failures in properly executing their duties regarding the handling of absentee ballot requests and the administration of election day procedures. Specific details suggest possible lapses in established protocols designed to ensure voting integrity and transparency.
The State Board of Elections is now tasked with reviewing the evidence presented in the complaints. This process will determine whether the allegations have merit and if any further investigation or disciplinary action is warranted.

The Cumberland County Board of Elections has not issued a public statement regarding the specific allegations. The State Board's review is pending.
