There are 149,596 more Republicans and 95,524 fewer Democrats on the North Carolina voting rolls in 2020 when compared to 2016.

But there is one other big change among registered voters: there are now 415,210 more who are unaffiliated.

The North Carolina Republican Party credits the surge in their registered voters to registration events and outreach since 2017.

The North Carolina Republican Party credits the surge in their registered voters to registration events and outreach since 2017.

But Western Carolina University political science professor Christopher Cooper says the second largest block of North Carolina registered voters is unaffiliated.

“From the ages of 17, when you can preregister to vote, through the age of 45 — unaffiliated is the largest group,” Cooper says. “It’s only when you get past the age of 45 that the two major parties really re-exert their dominance.

Cooper says Democrats in the state tend to be older, and younger voters are registering as unaffiliated....

That sounds a little fishy - nearly half million more voters?

I hope that PA decision goes before the SC.

If I don’t know what i’m talking about correct me please anybody :)

The courts confuse me.

I understand they can count up to 3 days after election day, a judge decided.

We have been winning court battles left and right.

I’d like to win some more before election day.

We could really rock this Nov 3

My understanding is that they file an emergency appeal.

I hope so too or kiss PA goodbye. They'll count all those Philly mail in ballots until Beijing Biden is the winner.

That’s a license to cheat.

No sane person can see it any other way.

But we won a lot of court cases thank God :)

Trump is the kind of guy that makes you believe anything is possible.

If you’re him lol

Is Cooper in any trouble? A GOP Gov. would be helpful in case Sen. Burr is implicated in Spygate and forced to retire early.

Cooper is leading substantially but this is by fake polls.

I think President Trump will carry the state - and bring Dan Forest along with him - except for the voter fraud.

Unaffiliated. That’s me. Registered to vote, but stealthy. Prevents targeting by Antifa and other nefarious types.

Me too. Registered Independent in NC.....straight ticket Republican voter.

Klantifa is part of it. Part of it is also that I don’t see how letting others know what I think would help me with the big banks I work for. Shhhh...keep things nice and quiet. :-)

Total, okay. I don’t know - on first impression following the previous sentence it sounded like they were new registrants.
