WCNC | Former Gov. Pat McCrory hopes to build back trust in NC election integrity @WCNC | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 21 hours ago.
Former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory knows what it's like to doubt an election.
"Because I've done it," McCrory said. "I've both won and lost election. I've had doubts before."
He's referring to his 2016 campaign against now-Governor Roy Cooper. He lost by just over 10,000 votes.
"But then as I examined the process, I began to trust the system, win or lose, and that's very, very important for our democratic process," said McCrory.
It's this regained confidence that led McCrory to work with RightCount.
The nonprofit says on its website that it is "dedicated to honoring America's Founding, upholding the Constitution and counting every vote." The organization operates in multiple battleground states. McCrory will chair the group's North Carolina efforts, joined by other local leaders like Matthew Ridenhour.
