Dunno of that is the reason.
McCrory is seeking a recount though cuz he LOST, ha ha. Don't know if the retally all candidates when they do a recount

Too bad, I think the Presidential race is the one that needs the recount, not the Governor's race.

The vote has to be within .5%

There is a "protest" option that any registered voter can bring, but that has to be approved by the county boards of elections (Republican) and is only appealed to the state board (also Republican).

However - McCrory lost narrowly and has already called for a recount. Discrepancies could show up in that race that might be useful if something underhanded actually happened here.

Having said that, I think the chances that Clinton actually won here are essentially nil.

Certainly hand recounts of paper ballots (common here in NC) would not look at all of the other races.

In this case, I think the recount is just running the ballots through the same counting machines as before (which probably means that the other races are totaled) but the only reporting would be of the race that's being recounted. There would have to be something obviously wrong noticed in some precinct in order to catch an issue in the presidential race (assuming their was one, which doesn't appear likely).

What I was thinking was that the same imagined sources that would have rigged the count for Trump would very likely to be trying to keep McCrory in place. If something outside of normal errors pops up in the gubernatorial race, that could open inquiries into the presidential returns.

elected.
