Leslie McCrae Dowless Jr. poses for a 2018 portrait outside of his home in Bladenboro, N.C. The Republican in the nation’s last undecided congressional election said on Feb. 11, 2019, he recruited a political operative now at the center of a ballot fraud investigation because he produced election results in his rural North Carolina county and other Republicans vouched for him. Mark Harris said he didn’t know before November’s election that state elections board investigators found evidence that operative Dowless Jr. may have illegally handled ballots in 2016.
