Does anyone know what happens if Mark Robinson does drop out of the NC Gubernatorial race? Can he still be replaced or is it too late? Absentee ballots to military and overseas voters were sent out last week and tomorrow ballots for everyone else who requested to vote by mail in North Carolina will be sent out. So it must be too late to change the name on the ballot. I don't see how Robinson could be replaced if his name is already on a ballot that is out in the world. So if he dropped out, would that just be like conceding the race?
