“Being the 74th governor of North Carolina has been a privilege and an honor,” McCrory said in a video statement. I want to thank Governor McCrory and our First Lady Ann McCrory for their service to our state. I’m proud to have received the support from so many who believe that we can come together to make a North Carolina that works for everyone. McCrory, who is the first sitting governor to lose re-election in North Carolina, has been fighting to remain in the state’s highest office since election night. On Nov. 28, the state Board of Elections instructed local election boards to disregard any protest that “merely disputes the eligibility of a voter” after Republican-controlled election boards across North Carolina dismissed McCrory’s election protests.
