And what lesson would that be?
Seek to overturn the election as McCrony did?
Play nursemaid to the the utility you worked for for 29 years?
Put many out of work by killing the state's film industry? BTW, if you're gonna tell us he was right in doing this because of the tax concessions the state was making let's be realistic and say that's no different than the deal Carrier's getting to keep some jobs in the states.
The NC election had not been called. So it couldn't be "overturned". And he ceased challenging the election once he conceded.
Hillary conceded election night. Now she seeks to over turn the election.

Trying to change resent history is not a good idea. People still remember. McCrory tried to overturn the results. Stein was the one who looked for recounts.
The lesson from McCrory to learn is to be a better Governor. One who has the best interest of the whole state not just his donors.
So Republicans can demand recounts when they want and deny results but if a democrat does the same it is considered wrong?
This is the problem with the current US government. the Republicans investigate if a Dem sneezes, but if a Republican candidate commits fraud, acts of sexual harassment it is fine and dandy!

You seem to have absolutely no knowledge of what happened in NC. There was no recount. McCrory conceded.

McCrory had weeks worth of baseless massive voter fraud allegations with no evidence whatsoever. He pushed for and did receive a recount in Durham County with the hopes that the recount there would push the overall state margin below 10,000, because he could not request a full statewide recount with the margin above 10,000. When Durham completed its recount and the margin was still above 10,000, he did concede, but that was only after basically all other options were exhausted.
Got proof that McCrory said there was "massive voter fraud" in NC?
His campaign staff accused Cooper of accepting votes of dead people and felons without a shred of evidence to back it up.
Bottom line it was close and he lost. His campaign claimed fraud with no evidence, pushed for a recount and did get one in Durham. Didn't fet a statewide one because the margins were greater than the 10,000 vote margin he could legally ask for one. He didn't concede when it was known he lost, he only conceded when he had no more legal options.
McCrory was just bad.
He was the victim of the false tax decrease pushed through by the State legislature and the Art Pope wing of the GOP.
He looked like a lobbyist for Duke Energy with the actions he forced the NCDER to take about water quality around their coal power plants.
His stance on Tolls on I-77.
The support of HB2 which hurt the state largely in economic terms.
He was on the wrong side of a lot of issues.
Quickly reading through this thread you seem to be the only one that mentioned HB2. The state lost 250 million in sports revenue alone. I believe HB2 was the biggest reason that McCrory lost, was it not?

That isn't massive statewide voter fraud as you claim.
