He was put into a no win situation by the Charlotte city council. I fully believe it was hit job by the loons on the council intended to get Cooper elected. I hope like hell Pat somehow pulls this out and then sets to destroy Roy Cooper's life and those that pushed this in Charlotte.

I firmly believe that as well. Economically speaking and with the exception of the I77 toll mess, there's no reason he shouldn't have won by a large margin. Soros dumped a bunch of money in the NC governor's race and I really think they (dems/Soros/etc.) expected to pick up NC and try to take back the state legislature as well.

what a racket

I think we may finally be close to McCrory conceding. His deficit grows larger as he drags it out. Just barely shy of 10,000 now.

He is still pushing for a hand recount in Durham County, but as the most democratic county in NC, it is very unlikely that erases a 10,000 vote deficit.

Unfortunately looks that way. I hope he sticks to his guns on the hand count. It's important to know what happened there, regardless the outcome.

Another day, another lead increase. Cooper's lead now over the 10,000 vote threshold that allows McCrory to call for a recount.

I love how the cons on here are completely ignoring the court packing attempt going on in NC right now on top of what is increasing starting to seem like your gov is trying to nullify the election results by trying to delay conceding long enough until the legislature votes on the result.

Thank Cooper for the ability for McCrory to appoint two more conservative judges.

you must have missed my post where I said they should not do that.

Pat lost. He should give it up. Im not like John. I accept defeat. We are going to regret this..but..NC has to move on.

1. https://www.courtlistener.com/opinion/14...-v-easley/ Cooper was a Senator when he voted to add three judges to the Court of Appeals strictly to maintain democratic control. He was named as a defendant as AG in the suit in 2001.

It is nothing if not ironic that a bill he voted for to ensure democratic control of the Court of Appeals regardless of the outcome of the coming election is now potentially working against him.

2. I'm not blaming Cooper for doing anything. He helped create a precedent that may now be used against him. I'm just bringing it to since so many think the 'dirty republicans' are doing something that no self-respecting or decent democrat would ever dream of - despite the fact that they already have.

Something fishy is going on with the State Board of Elections. Despite no evidence to question the Durham County vote they voted to call a recount of the 94k votes that were counted late on election night. Okay it will cost at least 35k but do it to put all doubt to rest, but give them time to do it. They issued an order for them have it completed by Monday evening. They appealed, asking to have until Wednesday but the state board refused to give them more time. The county chair, a fellow REPUBLICAN is at his wits end, wondering why they were being set up to fail? Surely it isn't that they want to be able to declare the Durham County vote null and void in order to send the governor's race to the GA during the special session for hurricane Matthew relief? I don't want to believe they could be that crooked.

you are pathetic. no one brings up that case. why because it's 15 years old and involves the court of appeals not the state supreme court. didn't find any sources on google comparing that to the current NC issue and I still don't see how it is even relevant.

Durham County started counting this afternoon. They will be counting through Sunday and into Monday to meet the 7 pm deadline. They had to scramble around to hire about 50 county residents at $13 an hour (approximately equal number of registered Rs and Ds) and find voting machines to borrow from other counties. They have to hand count every write in vote each race on the ballot, which will take a couple of days by itself. One irony is that many of the Rs complained that voting and having poll workers working on Sunday was sacrilegious. ( I tend to agree with the poll workers part ) But now they are demanding that the Durham Board of Elections work all day Sunday to have these votes ready by Monday evening.

The State Board of Elections voted 3-2 to reject the Bladen County protest. They then voted 5-0 to investigate the Bladen County issue further. It seems to boil down to this. The absentee votes in question are to be counted because the McCrory attorneys presented no evidence that any of these voters did anything wrong.

The protester, he was the winning candidate for soil and water conservation, took the 5th when asked who showed him his supposed evidence, and testified that not only had he not written the protest, he hadn't even read it. Basically they need a registered voter from Bladen County to file the protest so the governor's people used him as a vessel to bring forth the accusations.

What appears to have happened was that the people that helped the voters fill out their absentee ballots failed to sign the section of the absentee form where people that give assistance are suppose to indicate that they did so. So while the GOTV person did something wrong, either intentionally or in error, the voter did nothing wrong. Thus their vote is still valid. I'm unsure whether the GOTV person is subject to legal consequences. I assume that that is what the further investigation would include, along with the basic facts of who exactly did what.

They have counted about 16,000 of the 90,000 Durham recount in about the first four hours.

Only a partisan hack wouldn't see the relevance since they both deal with packing the court. Only difference is you don't have a problem with the dems doing it.

The only difference is that only the partisans are connecting the two. Literally no one covering the case feels it is noteworthy or relevant except for a bunch of ultra partisan news sources

Halfway through recounting Durham County, McCrory has lost a few votes.

Any day now they'll find the fraud and McCrory will be crowned the winner.

do you agree with what cooper did?

I don't think he should have done that nor do I think the GOP should pack the state supreme court

You asked for a link and I provided it. I didn't take a stance one way or another on the issue other than to say that it was the Dem's back in 2000 packing the court.
