Roy Cooper isn't an idiot. He knows how important Western NC votes are to Republicans.
He also knows he's not welcome there. That's why he's slow-walked any rescue or recovery efforts from the state, for that affected area.
Now, he's turned his focus to making it hard for citizens in the affected areas to vote.
This is what I thought would happen.
Because Cooper, a Democrat, is the Governor, he gets to pick the local electoral board majorities.
Those majorities are radical Dems who hate the patriots of Western NC and want them NOT to vote. If Western NC doesn't vote, that helps Kamala Harris and Josh Stein, the Dem nominee for Governor.
