On November 27, 2018, the State Board of Elections declined to certify the election result in this congressional district, while certifying all the others, pending investigation of unspecified "potential wrongdoing". An investigation was opened focusing on McCrae Dowless, a political operative who was hired by the Harris campaign for get-out-the-vote work, and allegations of irregularities involving the collection of absentee ballots. On December 28, 2018, incoming House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer stated House Democrats' official position of declining to seat Harris on January 3. A new election was called.
