NEW: NCSBE says the hearing will be in Raleigh at 10 a.m. on January 11 #NC09 #ncpol @wsoctv

#NC09 hearing is on the following races:

- NC09
- Bladen Co. Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor
- Bladen Co Commission D3
- Seat 2 on District Court in Judicial District 16B (Robeson Co)

Candidates in the affected contests can submit written briefs by Jan 6 saying why they think the race should be certified or why they think a new election should be ordered. #NC09 #ncpol @wsoctv

At the #NC09 hearing, the State Board chair will call witnesses and staff will examine them

Those witnesses will also be available for supplementary examination by State Board members and for cross-examination by counsel for candidates or by the candidates themselves @wsoctv

Candidates or their counsel can call witnesses too #NC09

Evidentiary standards:

Hearsay: "hearsay evidence will likely be admitted if found to be reliable"

News articles: "Articles from the news media may in some limited instances be admitted if offered for something other than the truth of the matter asserted."

I have to go live in like 5 minutes. Thread will continue when I'm done

Failure to produce all materials requested or subpoenaed by the State Board, or failure to attend the hearing pursuant to the subpoena, "may permit the State Board members to draw adverse inferences against those individuals or entities" #NC09

The State Board will deliberate in open session unless a majority of members want to deliberate in closed session for purposes permitted under G.S. § 143-318.11

The vote no matter what though will be in open session #NC09

The NCSBE hearing will be open to the public.

It is at 10 am on January 11 in the courtroom of the North Carolina State Bar, located at 217 East Edenton Street in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Space is obviously limited and I imagine every news outlet will live stream #NC09

So those are the highlights of the NCSBE's notice sent out today. All evidence from the NCSBE that doesn't compromise the investigation is being uploaded here: dl.ncsbe.gov/index.html?pre…
