RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Republican incumbent Pat McCrory and his Democratic opponent in the undecided North Carolina governor’s race have together sent or received hundreds of messages from private email accounts.
It’s a practice scorned by transparency advocates. McCrory’s re-election team described Attorney General Roy Cooper’s scant use of state-provided email as “questionable” when it sought to compare his Democratic rival to Hillary Clinton’s email problems.
The Associated Press learned from documents provided under North Carolina’s public records law that both McCrory and Cooper have conducted state business via private emails accounts.
Neither McCrory nor Cooper responded when The AP emailed their personal accounts asking why they communicated outside official channels or what advantage they gained from the practice.
Cooper currently leads by just over 10,000 votes out of more than 4.7 million cast.

I’m guessing Mr. Trump uses a private twitter account as well as private email, and will continue to do so. But Don’t worry, Judicial Watch will sue him so they can put the emails on their non-partisan website.
I read somewhere that Trump doesn’t use email. Or he doesn’t know how. Or maybe he just tweets 'cause that’s all his short fingers can manage.
Rip them apart with email investigations. Eviscerate them. Whatever happen to Anonymous … they kept the counts fair in 2012. Have they abandoned public service?
There was a quote from him on the Sam Bee show saying the interns in his office, (really smart girls, very good looking) do his tweeting. He gets an idea for a tweet, then shouts it out, and they type it in and send it.
Short stubby vulgarian fingers too fat for phone keys. Sad!
