(11,243 posts)"So you're going to tell me that Walter Dalton is more popular than Roy Cooper in this eastern NC county?"
Dalton didn't run against Cooper. WTF does this even mean?
"Oh, did you see the results for Obama/Biden? They won the county by 5% points over Romney- You'd think those old white voters would have come out in droves to oppose a black man on the ticket."
Probably not. The district votes resoundingly for House Rep Butterfield who is black. Let me reiterate, the district is half black. Obama probably only got a small percentage of whites. Butterfield gets more. All politics is local....
"Roy Cooper lost the county to one of the most unpopular governors in the history of our state!"
In an unusually partisan Trump wave year. Most of McCrory's loss in GOP voters came from the Charlotte area, if I understand correctly. HB2 and an unpopular toll road.
None of the statistics you post points to fraud.
