Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) is requesting nonpartisan election observers for her House race as she trails behind Democratic opponent Chuck Hubbard, according to a report from The Hill. The report, written by Mira Bhakta and published November 8, 2026, said Foxx made the request in a Facebook post.
In that post, Foxx wrote, "Election integrity is not a mere suggestion," and described election integrity as the keystone of free and fair elections that have always guided the course of the nation throughout history, The Hill reported.
The Hill's report, as reflected in the summary available for this story, places Foxx behind Hubbard but does not give vote totals or a margin. The summary also does not describe how the requested observers would be sought, where they would serve, or whether election officials have responded to the request. The available summary ends partway through the article, so the full report may contain those details.
The race is between Foxx, a Republican from North Carolina, and Hubbard, whom The Hill identified as her Democratic opponent. The summary does not describe any response from Hubbard's campaign to Foxx's request.
No other outlet's coverage of the request was among the materials provided for this story, so the account here rests on The Hill's reporting alone.
