The North Carolina Auditor’s Office has reassigned Dallas Woodhouse, its controversial elections liaison, to a new role after a series of controversies involving his influence on early voting plans.
Woodhouse, who led the state GOP from 2015 to 2019, was hired into the new role last year with a salary of $110,000 after Auditor Dave Boliek gained control over appointments to election boards.
His position, which had never existed when the governor had control over election boards, was intended to act as a liaison with the 100 county election chairs across the state and “ensure election integrity.”…
Last month, Republican officials in Jackson County said they had been pressured by the GOP and the auditor’s office to reject an early voting site on Western Carolina University’s campus. In texts obtained by NC Local, Woodhouse told the chair “don’t let them have a vote” about the plan.
