NC auditor's former liaison resigns amid furor over pressuring county elections board on early voting plans
The day after Anson County election board members chose between early voting plans, Election Director Neva Helms and Republican Board Chair Kelly Newton received a text from Dallas Woodhouse, the state auditor’s liaison with county boards of election.
“We are going to have to redo that early voting plan,” he wrote.
Woodhouse resigned Monday after a series of his suggestions to county boards became public.
In late 2024, state lawmakers transferred the governor’s power to appoint county election board chairs and State Board of Elections members to the recently elected Republican state auditor, Dave Boliek. As a result, each of the state’s election boards shifted from 3-2 Democratic to Republican majorities.
