Thought the Freepers would like an update on the NC Governor's race. I really think our daily prayers for the Trump/Pence made a real difference in the election. The Tarheel State could surely use some divine intervention now!

I have been praying for Governor McCrory. I have a suspicion that this is a raced that the DEMS are trying to steal. God speed, Governor McCrory!

They have until Friday (18th). More than enough time for Democrats to "locate" additional ballots.

My understanding a more precise count of win was 4400 ballots? Any way, lots of luck to those in NC!!

I don’t like that this remains unsettled. We all know how that usually turns out.

Remember in NC we only need to give our name and address to vote.

Funny how Trump should carry NC by such a comfortable margin and that the voters elected Republicans in 10 of the state's 13 districts and yet they elect a Rat as Governor.

*Very* funny.

Durham County did this purposefully. They engineered the voting machine to fail, asked for extended time, and then dumped loads of ballots at the last minute. They’re praying it doesn’t get investigated and found out.

You have to figure most of those late ballots from Durham are bogus.

I found three sealed boxes of ballots from Raleigh that washed ashore on the banks of the Tar River. Will return for a fee. Look for my Craigslist advertisement. Cash only.

They can always find a few thousand ballots in the trunk of a Dem officials car. It’s actually been done before when these crooks are involved.

Trump won NC by a much wider margin and so did Senator Burr, both Republicans.

Why did McCrory lose by a narrow margin?

If I had been in NC I would have voted Trump but not McCrory.

The governor got into the transgender bathroom issue earlier this year almost on the heels of Georgia’s Governor vetoing a First Amendment religious freedom law and Donald Trump winning the NC primary.

Governor McCrory is an Establishment Republican and I perceived his move and the GOP controlled legislature’s move on trangender bathrooms as an attempt to get back into the ‘good graces’ of conservative religious voters who were defecting to the ‘outsider’ Trump.

In 2015 Governor McCrory vetoed First Amendment religious freedom legislation to protect government officials with religious convictions from having to participate in gay marriage.

The GOPe of NC took on Charlotte on its ordinance knowing public opinion was on their side (did they “focus group” it) and I sense to help McCrory after he looked bad on gay marriage by not supporting the religious freedom legislation the year before.

If I had been in NC I would have voted Trump but not McCrory.

You say that because you do not live in NC. McCrory has been harassed by the NAACP for the last four years. They went so far as to put toilets in front of the Governor's Mansion and to hold weekly "Moral Monday" sit-ins in the Capitol Building. The so-called "bathroom bill" was a set-up by the Human Right's Campaign and the lesbian mayor of Charlotte. (BTW, McCrory is the former mayor of Charlotte.) They knew that the legislature would respond because a City Council cannot make laws that affect the entire state. The legislature went too far in some of what they included in the bill, but McCrory signed it anyway.

Roy Cooper, who now has a slim lead of less than 5000 votes, has been running for governor instead of doing his job for the past 13 years. The attorney general is supposed to represent the duly enacted laws of the state whether they personally agree with them or not and HB2 is only one of several laws he refused to defend in court. In NC, the attorney general's position has traditionally been used by the Democrats as a stepping-stone to the office of Governor and Roy Cooper is tired of waiting for "his turn".

A strong supporter of Donald Trump, McCrory did not even campaign for the last three weeks of October because he was dealing with the real problem of the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew. He was criticized by the NAACP and Cooper for using surplus tax revenue to replenish the "rainy day fund" that the Democrats were always dipping into when they were in power. Had he not done so, the state would not have had the funds to cope with the massive flooding caused by Matthew. He and the Republican-led legislature enacted other fiscal policies that has given NC one of the healthiest economies in the Southeast. If ever a governor deserved re-election based on his performance, McCrory does and the fact that the Dems planned to "steal" the election from him is disgusting to me and I hope it backfires on them!

+1. Here's hoping the socialists in Durham are outed for fraud, the provisional vote count leans toward McCrory, and the tons of outside our state Demon money spent to influence our vote ends up in unrewarded smoke.

I wore the letters off the "Mute" button of the TV remote silencing Ross and Cooper ads. Just ridiculous.

Thank you! Very well said! McCrory had to come in and drain the swamp in Raleigh and is still in progress of doing that.

He needs our prayers and our monetary support to fight for justice in this election theft attempt by the Dems in Durham.

The Left in NC has its nastiness, but McCrory caved to the Corporatists refusing to support religious freedom legislation like that proposed and shot down in other states in 2015, then when the legislature sent him the ‘conscience bill’ for public officials, McCrory vetoed it.

The Left hated plenty of RINO’s in my lifetime from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush. That does make those people conservative just because the NAACP, the media, whoever attacks them.
