I'm sorry Gov. McCrory lost, but he didn't help himself any with his support for toll lanes on I-77 north of Charlotte. In comparison to 2012, he lost 30,000 votes in that area alone. Those 30,000 would have won him the election even with any illegal or fraudulent voting, which I am SURE went on.

The opposition-- http://wideni77.org/

He also was wishy washy on the GOP platform, which hurt him with some. I have heard there were republicans who left the governor line blank on their ballots. He is widely considered a RINO among the party faithful.
