and i thought your interview with dallas woodhouse was actually quite extraordinary. in a lot of ways. you did a really good job of pinning down the great irony. but also, let's remember you said this, they had notice that there was -- that there was something wrong that happened in the republican primary. they chose to ignore it and focus on the well funded democratic opponent and now we are today. again, for me this begs the whole need for the restoration of the voting rights act, for democracy reform to be a major priority now. >> it's a great point about the what has been removed in terms of places like bladen county might be a place that has preclearance. it seems like the place that should have it. extra scrutiny. there were pockets, large pockets, huge pockets where there was some stuff going on that was really not kosher and the federal government came in to specifically look at it. >> that's absolutely right, chris. 40 counties in north carolina were subject to the pre-clearance provision of the voting rights act. but essentially the state had to approve voti

chairman, you heard what dallas woodhouse had to say there. would it be your preference that this current board or at least a board in some fashion, a board that roy cooper, the governor, would appoint, he said he's going to do that today, would be able to see this investigation through to the end? >> the short answer is yes. what is shocking and is unconscionable is that the north carolina republican party has day in and day out changed its tune on this. it seems like their position has changed depending on the day of the week. in is purely obstruction of an ongoing investigation. governor cooper and the state of north carolina have had to deal multiple times with the republican-led legislate why are passi -- legislature passing laws. this investigation needs to continue and despite what you heard a moment ago, the board of elections has provided hundreds and hundreds of pages of documents for folks to know what is going on. of course during an investigation most documents can't be released until the investigation is complete. so it is shocki

his name is leslie mccray dallas. he was convicted of fraud and perjury back in the '90s, charges not related to elections. in 2016, he was accused of paying volunteers for each absentee ballot they collected, according to the radio show, "this american life." north carolina law says you're not allowed to collect absentee ballots. close family members can deliver them, but that's it. now he worked for the republican congressional candidate, mark harris, this time around. and the big question, phillip, how was this guy allowed to be working on an election? there was -- he had -- he was a convicted felon for insurance-related crimes, and then in 2016, there was this "this american life" story. >> and there's no good answer. the names just read as having witnessed that thing were jessica dallas and sandra dallas, relatives involved in this operation. it's mind-boggling. and we saw it in the primary. there was some great data pulled by michael mcdonald who looked at the absentee vote in the same county in the primary, a p

dallas has a history of being accused of improper voter activity. and those sworn affidavits submitted to the elections board paint a troubling picture of what's been going on in the kentucky where county where he worked. allegations say dallas claimed he would receive a $40,000 bonus from the republican campaign if the republican won. dallas also claimed to have had 80 people working for him on two races. what he exactly those 80 people were doing, the elected board need to figure that out. were they the same people collecting mail-in absentee ballots? it is unclear how many absentee bales are missing or if there are muff to change the outcome confident race. but jerry cohen, an election law expert who knows the district well told us that this was an effort to elect mark harris, the republican in the race. if the election board finds truth in any of the allegations of voter fraud, there could be a new election and maybe a new winner. and we have news tonight on the kansas city chiefs cutting a star player after a video surfaces of him brutally shov

dallas, i appreciate your time. trying to understand as much of this as we can. you heard dan mccreedy taking back his con zegs. do you support a new election in this race? >> we're not quite there yet. it is our position that the board of elections has to come out and lay out everything they know. the question of certification of the race is separate of the, criminal federal and state investigations, which have to continue. we have to put people in jail who violated the law. the question of certification needs to be a numerical one. is the illegal behavior enough to call into question the outcome of the the race. if that is the case, the law requires a new election and we will not oppose it. if the state board of elections can definitely say that the bad behavior, the criminal behavior that should be prosecuted did not rise to a level of putting the outcome of the race in doubt, then mr. harris needs to be certified. i think the more likely outcome is the board of elections is not going to have had sufficient time to answer those questions and since the democrat

i am showing flight information because there could be delays from dallas to phoenix. that looks to be the main area so far it is okay and chicago is just cold, 170. and you can see milwaukee a 16, detroit 26, teens for many so quite cold if you are traveling to the great lakes. the main action has been moisture streaming into texas, that might play into dallas- fort worth and then the low coming out of southern california into arizona and the four corners. mostly sunny for us and a little warmer, up to the north you may get a few high clouds. 50s and 60s, light rain returns sunday afternoon and evening into monday. this looks to be north of the golden gate and does not look like a big system, i think it will fall apart before it goes south, but you might get some light rain out of that. you can see the air flow coming down on the north, so probably no fog formation but there could be a little bit of fog. that low is now pushing into the california arizona border, and that is the source of some of these high clouds that may filter in. the low will be a major player mov

in the same election who also hired dallas. if the board determines that it has found evidence of irregularities that may have tainted the results, they can call a new election down there. didn't know you can do that. for more on that, i'm joined by leigh ann caldwell, nbc news political reporter down there in north carolina. zbur lena maxwell and republican strategist. leeann, tell us about how it looks down there overall for this vote stealing thing. >> yeah. sure, chris. so i'm in robeson county, and robeson and the county adjacent, really ground zero for this alleged voter fraud or election fraud that's been taking place. it has to do with absentee ballots. we have spoken with voters who said that random unknown people came to their doors and said that they would collect their absentee ballots and then mail them in for them, even saying you don't have to fill it out, i'll fill it out for you or, here, i have some stamps, i'll mail your ballot for you. and so what the state election board is looking into is how rampant and h

but just to keep the record clear, harris paid dallas. so it's not about your state's infrastructure on that level. this is about a decision he made with a man who is a known quantity. and now there is a chance that he gets rewarded for his efforts with a congressional seat. do you think that should happen or do you think that under no circumstances should this man be seated until this is certified? >> well, i say follow the facts wherever they lead. my understanding is mr. dallas was involved, as i said, in the 2016 election -- >> he's not new to this. >> in which there was a similar issue in effect in the gubernatorial race then. interesting interestingly enough, the same elections official that made the motion not to certify here, which might have been the right decision for the time being, also voted to dismiss a similar complaint in 2016 involving similar activity. so, you know, it's hard to know -- i don't know who knew what about mr. dallas. my understanding is various people recommend him or something. and there are legitimate act

harris won. >> your reaction to dallas? >> well, we heard during the election rumors of bad activity. bladen county is a very small county. people know who the shady characters are. what is amazing here is that my opponent mark harris went out and hired this known criminal, dallas, who was under investigation for absentee ballot fraud to run his absentee ballot program amidst all these allegations. >> let's play -- to your point about how mr. dallas was a known criminal, here is robert pittinger who lost to harris in the primary since he heard about irregularities. take a listen to this. >> have you ever heard of voter irregularities in the district. is this news is now >> it's been out there. we were fully aware of it. some pretty unsavory people particularly in bladen county and i didn't have anything to do with them. let me just leave it at that. >> you know, it makes me wonder when you got into this race, how aware were you and how prepared were you for the type of activity that we're now talking about? >> i never expec
