Auditor’s Deleted Texts Spark Fallout | Durham News

Dallas Woodhouse, North Carolina’s former elections liaison, is under fire after deleting text messages tied to public records requests — a move his own agency’s general counsel called a direct violation of policy. Leaked texts revealed him pushing to cut Sunday voting and shut down an on-campus polling site, sparking outrage. American Oversight obtained over 900 pages of documents, including Woodhouse’s admission to deleting messages despite being told not to. Though the agency recovered most of his phone’s data, some messages vanished without backup. Woodhouse resigned shortly after, claiming he tried to comply with records requests and pointing to new voting expansions as proof of his intent to improve access. American Oversight now demands a forensic expert to recover the lost texts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
