Incumbent Republican Pat McCrory was urged to concede the still-unresolved North Carolina governor’s race Monday nearly two weeks after Election Day. The latest results from the State Board of Elections late Monday put Cooper ahead of McCrory by about 6,500 votes from nearly 4.7 million cast. More than 20 of the 100 counties had performed their canvassing by Monday evening, state board data show. The State Board of Elections revealed Sunday a data search determined more than 300 convicted felons may have voted unlawfully statewide during early voting. The state board also has been investigating allegations that roughly 150 absentee ballots were filled out in Bladen County unlawfully by a handful of people linked to a local PAC.
