    Sure, there are die hard blue countries, like Wake and Mecklenburg, but take a random exit off the freeways in rural areas and behold all the Trump number stickers, signs and flags that have been up basically since 2016 continuously.

    Despite tending to elect Democrat governors, NC loves Republican senators, presidents, and lieutenant governors… It’s bizarre. As mentioned NC went to Obama in 2008 (Barely), but other than that it’s been a pretty comfortable win for Republican presidents for a long time.

    The house and state legislators can be explained by the malicious districting, but the statewide elections also behave weird.
