To: The North Carolina State House and The North Carolina State Senate
Goodbye Governor McCrory
Democrat Roy Cooper leads incumbent North Carolina’s Republican Governor Pat McCrory by more than 6,000 votes, and the lead was steadily growing as the 100 NC counties continued turning in the results of their provisional and absentee ballots – until McCrory put a stop to the process, alleging widespread fraud, in a carefully orchestrated filing of Protests in 50 counties with ‘dead voters.’ Others ‘voted twice,’ according to Protests filed. And still others voted in other states or voted as felons. Governor McCrory is desperate to maintain his seat of power, so much so that he is costing taxpayers, local governments and the state of North Carolina tremendously by forcing a recount when he has yet to prove that his allegations are based on fact and not fantasy.
Governor McCrory is no stranger to poorly thought-out laws. He signed a 2013 voter-ID law which a federal court rolled back in 2016 for illegal suppression of black votes. He signed a contentious and regressive “Bathroom Bill” this year which has cost the state more than $400,000,000 in lost revenue just through September.
While he has the right to request a recount under NC law since the spread is less than 10,000 votes, it is highly unlikely it will result in enough votes to overcome Cooper.
Should his recount ploy to keep the governorship fail, McCrory has already put in motion plans to keep his job by having the state legislature, also Republican, make the final call since the election is ‘contested.’
Send this Governor a strong message to get out of town. Just Move On, McCrory.

Why is this important?
Governor McCrory has performed dismally, damaging the state of North Carolina across the board. The voters of North Carolina have weighed in with their votes. McCrory needs to concede.
