NC campaign finance watchdog files complaints against two Cumberland County elections officials
Longtime North Carolina campaign finance watchdog Bob Hall has filed complaints with the State Board of Elections against two members of the Cumberland County Board of Elections, alleging one made an illegal campaign contribution in 2022 and the other failed to report it.
Hall filed a complaint against board member Brenda Eldridge, the board’s current secretary and a former chairwoman of the Cumberland County Republican Party, for allegedly making an illegal campaign contribution. He filed another against current board chairwoman Linda Devore for not reporting the alleged infraction to the State Board of Elections. Devore was a member of the county election board at the time.
Neither Eldridge nor Devore responded to voice messages left by NC Newsline Tuesday.
In the complaint against Eldridge, Hall alleges that Eldridge “intentionally collected contributions from anonymous sources and used the funds to help make, or reimburse herself for, a $25,000 contribution in her name to the Cumberland County Republican Party.”
