There was a thread here yesterday where a North Carolina Freeper said most of the people he knew had voted for Trump for president and Cooper for governor.

Apparently McCrory committed the unpardonable sin of signing a bill to keep men out of women's bathrooms, which prompted the NCAA to move the men's basketball finals out of the state.

I suggested that this guy lives among the dumbest f%&#ing white people on the planet, if that was the case.

Don’t blame the governor for the extreme politization of the NCAA.

That’s an interesting observation. I lived in North Carolina for about 10 years, and I will agree with you that basketball is almost like a religion to some of those people.

Not buying it. They can not be that dumb or in love with the NBA.

They need to specifically look for double-bubbling on absentee ballots which would result in a negated vote for governor. This game would explain the oddity.

Please forward this to the McCory office.

That and coal ash. Google the NC coal ash incident. Many folks in NC are very unhappy about how McCrory handled that.

I am relatively new to NC and found the governor has an excellent pro business/pro tech record, however it is all over shadowed by things like the coal ash incident and the NCAA moving tournaments out of state.

Personally I am not a fan of the governor because he lied right to my face about a local matter.

Well, that may be what a lot of NC voters did - but the difference in the original vote tally was just 5000 votes which occurred after Durham County had six polling places that stayed open hours past the usual closing time.

This is just like in Florida and Philadelphia where voting places were allowed to stay open in an attempt to sway the final vote tally. It didn’t work in Florida but in the past it did work in places like Philadelphia.

Yes, Governor McCrory was being punished for wanting to keep men out of women’s bathrooms and that resulted in the NCAA championship games being withdrawn from the state.

Still, it took blatant voter fraud to pull off this election “victory” for that creep, Cooper.

If people voted for this Cooper because they wanted men to use women’s bathrooms , the it just tells me how frigging stupid, and perverted some people are.

Wait till these women let men use their bathrooms, and rapes occur, or even less when a woman goes to use the bathroom only to find urine all over the seat.

Perhaps, yet Calgary voted in Nenshi, Alberta voting in Notley and Canada voted in Turd-owe, so they are not alone.

Same crap “sports fan” reason we lost Tom Corbett as governor in PA 2 years ago. He was involved in investigating Joe Paterno at Penn State for failing to report sex abuse, leading to his termination. But because Paterno was a beloved figure of cult worship, the voters punished Corbett for his role in investigating him. So in a GOP nationwide sweep, he, like McCrory, became one of the few Republicans to lose his seat.

“Almost 40 percent of voters in exit polls on Tuesday said they considered Corbett’s handling of the investigation a very or somewhat important to their decision, although Corbett himself had already decided to avoid the subject on the campaign trail.

“There was no winning this battle with those who are fervently of the belief that I did what they believe I did,” he told the Inquirer.”

I live in NC. I know some who voted Trump/Cooper and heard a lot of the same from around town.

And unfortunately, Yes basketball is that important in NC.
