Governor Pat McCrory has officially filed for a recount in the gubernatorial race against Roy Cooper.
McCrory trails Cooper by 6,519 votes out of more than 4.5 million votes cast during the general election.
McCrory's campaign sent out a press release Tuesday afternoon saying McCrory was joining Chuck Stuber, candidate for state auditor, in "officially filing for a statewide recount Tuesday morning."
"With serious concerns of potential voter fraud emerging across the state, it is becoming more apparent that a thorough recount is one way the people of North Carolina can have confidence in the results, process and system," a portion of McCrory's letter to the State Board of Elections reads.
