Just repeating a stereotype.
Many of the people who move in are conservatives from the midwest (they still count as Yankees) or escaping the cultural cesspool of the northeast. Some are liberals. Some are blacks from the South (and elsewhere) who vote Democrat.
Basnight, the Democrat senate majority leader who orchestrated this little move, is elected by redneck locals. Richard Morgan, the RINO who has helped Democrats hold onto power the last few years, is elected by redneck locals.
I only wish Dare County was still "red neck locals."
