Virginia Brooks: McCrory attacking GOP BOE

Regarding the Nov. 21 news article “Election officials reject McCrory campaign request”: Lost somehow in some of the coverage of Gov. Pat McCrory’s attempts to reverse an election that he has lost is the fact that the State Board of Election is Republican-controlled, and the boards of all 100 counties are Republican-controlled.

It is incredible to me that McCrory is accusing his own boards of fraud or incompetence in the election. It is time for McCrory to accept the will of the people and stop this unprecedented protesting and his impugning the integrity of his own party members.
