If Rouzer had backed stiffer imigration policies, he would likely have one. I would have voted for him had he done so and I'm certain others would have.

godnessgracious2 - you never saw one of Mike's ads on TV? Gosh! He spent in excess of $2million and you didn't see one of his ads? Not one? If I were him, I would demand my ad money be returned! You must not have a TV!

I never once saw one of Mike McIntyre's TV ad's but I saw plenty of Rouzer's dishonest attack ads. Even with the gerrymandered district and all that superPAC money, he still couldn't win. Now he's got to waste our money delaying the inevitable. Just give it up, you lost. Maybe Mississippi or Louisiana will give you a seat. I hear they hate books and science too. You will have better luck there. Now, go away!

This is ridiculous. What is it about 'you lost dude" Mr. Rouzier doesn't understand? Guess he thinks Art Pope can save him. Typical lobbyist.

Wow. A republican who could not get elected in a state election in 2012. This guy must be really awful.

"600 votes is NOT a big difference. 6000 IS. Percentages aren't as important when talking about the actual number of votes, and with all the changes already being reported around the country, this is definitely deserved"

Sorry....if you have 4,000,000 votes, 6000 is NOT a big number. It is a smaller number, % wise, than the 600 in this election.

You don't just look at the vote difference, you have to look at the total number of votes for those that "potentially" could change.

sorry.

Basic math mayhem, and FourAutumn...600 votes is NOT a big difference. 6000 IS. Percentages aren't as important when talking about the actual number of votes, and with all the changes already being reported around the country, this is definitely deserved. And I am NOT a Repub...just counting the votes.

"in light of the irregularity previously found in Bladen County'

Seems like the losing candidate is grasping at straws.

The REAL story...

"But Bladen County Elections Director Cynthia Shaw said the Rouzer campaign was mischaracterizing a temporary glitch that didn’t change the outcome. “I would appreciate it if the David Rouzer campaign called me,” Shaw said Tuesday morning. “They don’t know what they’re talking about.” Shaw said votes from a single precinct were accidentally counted twice after a battery in a computer card fell out. That led to the votes on the computer card being read in twice, she said. The duplication was discovered and corrected, Shaw said."

No "irregularity" at all. Just another Republican attempt at stirring up "voter fraud" stories.

How sad.

Come on, don't be a sore Roo-zer...

"It's too close to ignore the possibility of human error making a difference"

So was the Lt Governor race, when you compare the % difference. However, the losing candidate in that case stepped aside and, as far as I can tell, the winning candidate thinks his election is a "sure thing".
