NC Governor’s Race Still Undecided
(This piece is long. For that I apologize. But there was much to the tale that needed be told.)
Although largely ignored by the mainstream press, the race for Governor in NC is still undecided. As you may recall, the race is between incumbent Governor Pat McCrory (R) and incumbent Attorney General (AG) Roy Cooper (D).
On election night, up until about 40 minutes before the election was called for Cooper, McCrory was ahead by some 52,000 votes. But suddenly, Democrat Party stronghold Durham County reported “finding” 90,000 votes, which put Cooper ahead by 3,000 to 5,000 votes out of some 4.6 million cast. NC’s Governor’s Race.
The NC Governor’s election is highly politically symbolic for both the left and right. And the two candidates could hardly be more different.
On the right is Governor McCrory. In his time in office Governor McCrory has: (1) canceled nearly $3 billion in debt to the federal government; (2) built up a hefty government surplus; (3) slashed taxes; and (4) fostered an environment of job growth in North Carolina placing the state among the top nationwide for jobs. Additionally, McCrory also sought to buttress the integrity of the vote by the passage of a voter ID law (overturned on appeal). And after the city of Charlotte passed an ordinance requiring that access to both public and private bathrooms, changing rooms, and other shared facilities be by a person’s subjective gender identity, McCrory acted to protect children by facilitating the passage of H.B.2 which required that use of public facilities be in accordance with birth gender. H.B.2 had no effect on private businesses. CarolinaJournal.
On the left, in sharp contrast to McCrory, is Democrat Pat Cooper. From his position as AG, Cooper has worked hard to undermine Governor McCrory. In particular his AG office refused to undertake an appeal of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling overturning NC’s voter ID law Politifact, and also refused to defend against all challenges to H.B.2 CarolinaJournal. There is more to know about Cooper. But in short, Cooper has been a persistent and consistent thorn in Governor McCrory’s side, acting to undermine election integrity and expose children to sexual predators. His every action highlights the wrongness of what he believes important. They also betray him as the worst kind of leftist ideologue, placing party and power before principle, duty, and the good of the people of NC.
Because of Governor McCrory’s support for NC’s voter ID law and H.B.2, thus thwarting open voting and so called transgender rights, each darlings of the left, both McCrory personally, and his reelection as Governor were targeted by the left. Leftist activists and money poured into NC in the run up to the election, helping to turn what ought to have been a sure McCrory victory into a nail biter election that is still undecided.
RedState writer and NC resident Susan Wright is tracking the fallout of this election, and succinctly captured the heart of what is at stake in NC:
I had said from the beginning that McCrory is the standard bearer for sound governance in the nation, at this time. If he couldn’t win, there is no place for conservative leadership in the nation. The Nation’s Most Important Governor Vows to Battle On
Conversely, if McCrory loses, then every Republican governorship is in danger, and the hope for future sound conservative governors nationwide is badly damaged if not quashed.
