A former elections worker in North Carolina was indicted by a grand
jury on Monday for purposefully changing ballot results during the March
2016 primary election.
Richard Robert Rawling, 59, of Cary, was charged with felony counts
of failing his duties and obstruction of justice after allegedly skewing
the vote tallies to help elect Donald Trump and other conservative
candidates.
Rawling allegedly ordered subordinates to run provisional ballots
through tabulators more than the correct number of times, and then made
manual changes so that the results of the provisional canvass would
match the tally of total ballots.
Elections board officials found the smoking gun during an audit of primary results in April.
According to the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement,
Rawling’s actions were a desperate attempt to hide his tampering with
results. Rawling resigned less than a month after the primary results
were tallied.
“The State Board’s top priority is ensuring the integrity of
elections so voters have confidence in the process,” the North Carolina
State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement said in its remarks to
the media.
