Buncombe county is a solid blue county. Although there are western counties which ARE red, the population in Asheville (sometimes referred to as the San Francisco of the Appalachians) is decidedly liberal. If anything, removing those folks from the voter tallies would actually help Trump.
One thing you haven’t heard is the rural western NC people complaining about where’s the government to save them, instead they rolled up their sleeves, neighbor helping neighbor, churches and individuals delivering food, water, and supplies, 4WD vehicles getting people needed drugs and to receive medical treatments.
That’s why they will find a way to vote.
Those in blue Asheville, not so much.
The same for Watauga the other blue county in western NC
