North Carolina has a quirk in its election system. If McCrory can get the Republican-controlled legislature (which did his bidding in regards to HB2) to go along, they can simply declare that McCrory will get another term as governor, regardless of the vote. Republicans have gotten more and more brazen in their disregard for our country, have they gone far enough that they can simply override the will of the people? Time will tell.
