“How the hell could NC be in play for Hillary after the BLM riots in Charlotte?”
NC is 22% black, 9% hispanic and 3% Asian. Its major urban population centers are liberal - Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville and tend to vote Democrat inside the city limits. There has been significant migration into the state over the past 10 years from liberal northern states. The state went for Obama in 2008 and Romney narrowly won the state in 2012 with 50.4% of the vote.
The infamous “bathroom” law has hurt the Republican Governor. There is a significant amount of out of state money being poured into the Democrat campaigns for President, Senator, and Governor.
Ugh, that is scary. I knew Obama took it in ‘08. Didn’t remember it was that close in ‘12.
Large minority pop, but I’d still figure post-riots that 70% of whites would go Trump and cancel em out. If the bathroom law has legit hurt the Gov, in a southern state, thats a very sad statement on where we are headed.
Without Helms, NC is a basket case.
