Comments for Sample ballot: Our picks for the November election | Eastern North Carolina Now

In the governor's race, it is simply a matter of the lesser of the evils. A flawed opportunist like Robinson is better than an extreme leftist like Josh Stein (or should it be Frankenstein, maybe he shortened the familty name). Stein is an open borders amnesty whore while Robinson seems okay on immigration issues. Stein favors allowing biological boys on girls sports teams and in girls restrooms and locker rooms. Robinson opposes that. Issue after issue, Stein is very wrong for North Carolina. Issues happen to matter more than personalities.

What of the minor party options? The only two that conservatives would consider are the Constitution Party and Libertarian Party. The Constitution Party candidate received a zero score from gun rights advocates and has had nothing to say about immigration. He is not trustworthy on issues. The Libertarian candidate did score very strong on gun rights but is silent on immigration and his party is historically for open borders.

Even considering minor parties, Robinson, flawed though he is, still is a less bad choice than anyone else on the ballot for governor.
