NC Auditor Boliek expressed polling site preferences and looked to boost GOP turnout, messages show.
North Carolina State Auditor Dave Boliek was involved in efforts to influence early voting plans in Republican-leaning counties, including Yadkin County, where a local elections board chair sought his office's intervention over a planned relocation of the county's only early voting site. Boliek's office, which gained appointment powers over elections officials through a 2024 law, has been linked to guidance on polling site decisions and Sunday voting hours, with a former GOP operative playing a role in gathering voting plans.
