The Republican will lose.

The dems never stop counting until they win. If Mitt had won the lawyers would be crawling all over the battleground states. The GOP just goes home and complains.

He currently has a lead of over 11,000 votes, so I think he will probably pull this out. Dan Forest is the son of former US Representative Sue Myrick. NC just elected our first Republican governor since 1993 and the Republicans added to the majority they achieved in 2010. That was the first time the Republicans took control of both houses of the legislature since the 1880s. Although our judicial elections are "nonpartisan", we succeeded in keeping the grandson of Senator Sam Ervin of Watergate fame from unseating an excellent conservative member of the NC Supreme Court. Most important, the voters turned NC back to its proper color - red!

We are a nonunion state, but, as a 30 year NC state employee, I belong to the State Employees' Association (SEANC). I have been offended by the many emails that we have received pushing Linda Coleman, whose only qualification for the job of Lt. Governor appears to be that she is a former teacher and a member of SEANC, and telling us how "extreme" Dan Forest's views were. I heard a radio report earlier today which said that Coleman is "concerned" that provisional ballots from many "eligible" NC voters may not be counted, although that process is underway right now.
