N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory Concedes Election to Democrat Roy Cooper

North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory conceded the close gubernatorial race on Monday to his Democratic challenger, Roy Cooper, concluding one of the last outstanding contests of the 2016 election nearly a month after voters cast their ballots.
The Republican incumbent had filed for a statewide recount last month, but lost virtually all hope of eking out a reelection victory when Cooper's lead had surpassed 10,000 votes last week -- and the threshold whereby state law allows McCrory to ask for a recount. As of Monday, Cooper was up by 10,563 votes, according to the North Carolina Board of Elections.
McCrory will have lots of time to check out birth certificates of people entering public bathrooms.
The bathroom law caused so many lawsuits that McCrory got state emergency disaster funds to help cover his bills. Aside from that, NC lost almost $60 million from PayPal pulling out. The ACC pullout cost NC $91 million. Corporate America gave NC a clear warning that discrimination won't be tolerated.
