They were chanting "No Trump, No Hate, No Fascist USA" heard on audio on the 11 PM News. The TV station also reported there were no arrests and also stated this was the first
anti-Trump protest of its kind in NC.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) Hundreds of protesters blocked roads near the University of North Carolinas campus in Chapel Hill during so-far peaceful protests against President-elect Donald Trump before moving to Carrboro, where they are blocked Main Street.
After first blocking the intersection of Franklin and Columbia streets, the crowd moved to the Old Well, a campus icon, where speakers discussed their worries about a Trump presidency.
Protesters then returned to the intersection of Franklin and Columbia and blocked it again, before marching further west. At Franklins intersection with Graham Street, they again blocked an intersection. They then continued to Carrboro.
Lots more photos in the story.

it's one Dem to two Republicans. I think we'll see Cooper certified as the winner in the Governor's race, but it won't be until early December
when McCrory has exhausted his appeals process.
