"the gov isn't going to let it slide."
Do we know something on that front? The state is going to have to step in at some point. This guy is nuts and this gov appointed him (but he did win the primary). I guess this gives us a lesson on the dangerousness of a pure democracy at least in Durham, N.C.
I believe the governor would appoint the replacement. I believe that's how NiFong his job in the first place.
