RALEIGH, N.C.—North Carolina’s elections board held a hearing on Feb. 18, on ballot fraud allegations in the nation’s last undecided congressional election.

The hearing, slated to last at least two days, will include the results of a monthslong investigation into allegations that a political operative tampered with mail-in ballots in a rural county. Republican Mark Harris holds a slim lead over Democrat Dan McCready in unofficial results, but the state has refused to certify the election.
