Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, a Democrat, cruised to reelection Tuesday, capturing more than 70% of the vote over Republican challenger Terrie Donovan, with nearly all ballots counted, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

The result extends Democrats’ long dominance in North Carolina’s largest city, which hasn’t elected a Republican mayor since former Gov. Pat McCrory left office in 2009, according to WFAE.

Whitey fled long ago - the victim was from Ukraine and wasn't taught that "no-go zones" have been in the U.S. for decades.

Of course in North Carolina, you can’t even flee to the suburbs thanks to forced annexation.

Meanwhile: Our cities are lost — nationwide.

Yep, it just leaves all the stupid people behind. That explains all of these big city mayors.

It’s just too easy for people of means to flee from a bad situation.

The problem is, eventually there will be no place to flee to.

... despite controversy ... ???

Nope. A majority of the electorate there like what happened.

If this election is any indicator, the 2026 elections will be an absolute bloodbath.

“For many decades...the American housing market has presented the pathetic spectacle of non-whites following whites as they move around like vagabonds from place to place, looking for a community free from crime and chaos — all while the non-whites yell at them about racism.”

I agree. Unless Trump can cut inflation to zero and get the economy rolling the GOP is done. The GOP has failed miserably at school reform, and the teachers keep turning out 95% of their students voting dem. AND, Newsome beats Vance in 2028.

This was always going to happen. Deep blue cities are going to stay blue. The good part is eventually it will be all blue and the good reds will move to red states to keep them even more red. It will all wash out just fine.

The teacher's unions have too much power and they are loved by the media.

Red people in blue states can’t always just pull up stakes and move down south. The Left never stops marching and will eventually turn deep red states blue. This is due to red complacency.

I worked the local election last night in what was once a red county in upstate NY. Dems showed up probably 2 to 1.

“ Red people in blue states can’t always just pull up stakes and move down south.”

In the Marines they always said “can’t means won’t”.

Murdering a white girl is the central fantasy of that culture.

Turnout in my precinct was pathetic. The ballot was nothing but foregone conclusions, and my vote counted for zip (again).

All the West Wing ballroom crap, rah-rah parades and fireworks shows do is give the left talking points and put the right to sleep. And sleep it was.
