Soooooooo, did Governor Cooper actually get into the Governor’s Mansion honestly?
I'll let you decide: Trump was supposedly an incumbent candidate with a lot of negatives that should have turned off voters of his own party... and totally toxic to the Dems. Cooper was unpopular with both but at least had a (D) behind his name. Trump won and so did Cooper. I still haven't reconciled that outcome in my mind.
The suggestion here is that those in a chain to investigate voting irregularities won, including Cooper... and he shut down any inquiries.
