The district's current boundaries were redrawn in February 2016 after a U.S. District Court overturned the existing boundaries.[5] The new congressional district consists of Union, Anson, Richmond, Scotland and Robeson counties; a southeast portion of Mecklenburg County; and parts of Cumberland and Bladen counties. Republicans have held this district since 1963. Republican Robert Pittenger had represented the district since January 2013. In the 2018 election, Mark Harris defeated Pittenger in the Republican primary. Harris was initially called as the winner of the general election, but the result was not certified pending an investigation into absentee ballot fraud.[6][7] On February 21, the Election Board unanimously voted to call for a new election.[8] List of members representing the district
2018 election{{Main|2018 North Carolina's 9th congressional district election}}In a rematch on May 8, 2018, Robert Pittenger was defeated in the Republican primary by former pastor Mark Harris, whom he had beaten by 134 votes in the primary two years earlier.[10] Harris won 48.5 percent of the vote to Pittenger's 46.2 percent. Pittenger was the first congressional incumbent to lose his primary election in 2018.[11] The New York Times described the race between Harris and Dan McCready as a "top-tier contest".[12] A CBS News story calls the race "one of the most competitive".[13] On election day, Harris defeated McCready by 905 votes, but on November 27, 2018, the North Carolina State Board of Elections and Ethics Reform declined to certify the election results, citing voting irregularities involving absentee ballots.[14][15] The irregularities became the subject of a criminal investigation.[16] Outlets such as the Associated Press[17] and FiveThirtyEight[18] subsequently retracted calling the race, pending the ultimate decision of the state board of elections. On December 1, the chair of the state elections board resigned, saying: "The investigation of criminal conduct and absentee voting fraud in the 2018 Republican primary and 2018 general election in congressional District 9 is a matter of vital importance to our democracy", adding that "I will not allow myself to be used as an instrument of distraction in this investigation".[19] On November 30, the election board of the district decided to hear evidence about “claims of numerous irregularities and concerted fraudulent activities” at a meeting to be held by December 21. A finding of fraud could have resulted in a new election.[20] Democratic candidate McCready withdrew his earlier submitted electional concession on December 6.[21] Republican candidate Harris agreed for a new election to be held if allegations of election fraud could be proven by the election board to have possibly affected the contest's outcome.[22] The leader of the North Carolina Republicans, Robin Hayes, stated on December 11 that regardless to what extent election fraud could be proven to have altered the election, a new election would be necessary in the state's 9th Congressional District if investigators can verify a local newspaper report that early voting results in Bladen County also were leaked before Election Day.[23][24] On December 28, the state court dissolved the state election board, before it had certified election results.[25][26] The election board's staff announced that it would continue the investigation, but delayed hearings until a new election board is seated, presumably on January 31.[27][28] Democratic Governor Roy Cooper's attempts to fill an interim board were overridden by the Republican-controlled legislature.[25] Incoming United States House of Representatives Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Democrat, announced that the House of Representatives will not seat Harris under any circumstances until the fraud investigation is completed.[29] Harris announced he would seek court intervention to have him immediately certified as the winner and stated his intention to join the 116th Congress on January 3.[30][31] However, Harris was not permitted to join the new Congress on January 3. On February 21, the state board of elections voted to hold a new election, because, according to board chairman Bob Cordle, "irregularities and improprieties ... tainted the results ... and cast doubt on its fairness."[32] A newly passed law by the North Carolina state legislature will require holding new preceding primaries for the parties.[33] See also{{portal|United States|North Carolina}}
