I'm going to bet that he manages to pull off the victory
I'd put real money on it but I'm too lazy to go through that process
just seems like that's something that's going to happen :3 11/9/2016 6:32:37 PM |

Recounts generally favor the original winner and rarely swing the ballot count much. 5000 votes is a lot of votes to make up by betting on them being counted wrong.

you don't think it would have helped if we had a governor who was critical of the bill? or vetoed it?
i think it would make a difference 11/10/2016 8:39:01 AM |

I like how he let his old buddies at Duke Power off with a "you guys don't do that again" after poisoning a river.
Seriously, McCrory was a terrible governor, which is why he lost when almost all other NC Republicans won reelection. 11/10/2016 8:48:34 AM |

um I am pretty sure it was his admin that inspired the act that keeps police body cams from the public, and the economy boosting HB2 bill, it wasn't his party, it was him11/10/2016 9:01:02 AM |

well the police camera thing was supported by both parties, in fact more republicans voted against it
but on things like abortion and other issues, he gave moderate positions during the election and then reversed them. i think this was because he folded to pressure from his party and financial supporters, all of his language before was very moderate. 11/10/2016 9:25:02 AM |

100% anecdotal, but from what I understand, the coal ash stuff really upset a lot of rural voters. So much so that HB2 didn't even do enough to placate them. 11/10/2016 10:07:56 AM |

"Pat McCrory was winning until almost midnight when Durham County suddenly 'discovered' that 90,000-plus early votes had not been counted."

Quote : | "CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- With the race for Governor still too close to call, Governor Pat McCrory's campaign committee is putting together a legal defense team and is asking for anyone to contact them if they believe they have witnessed voter fraud.
The McCrory Committee says the defense fund is needed "in preparation for an ongoing legal battle and associated expenses relating to the extended gubernatorial contest".
The North Carolina Values Coalition, a conservative group that strongly backs House Bill 2 and McCrory, issued a statement asking for financial help to support McCrory's legal effort.
The statement From Coalition Executive Director Tami Fitzgerald said, "... there is a question about the integrity of the election. Pat McCrory was winning until almost midnight when Durham County suddenly 'discovered' that 90,000-plus early votes had not been counted."
In Mecklenburg County, a team of GOP lawyers has already made a brief stop at the County Board of Elections where workers are already beginning to review provisional ballots.
It is hoped final tallies can be announced a week from Friday when every county Election Board meets to canvas the votes." |
