NC is particularly interesting due to the governor’s race as well. GOP is at risk of a significant loss here
Can we fix the congress as well? Tired of their games.
It would be difficult as long as we continue to use partisan district maps drawn by said congress. And it will be difficult to replace those partisan district maps as the partisan state Supreme Court ruled that partisan gerrymandering isn't illegal. And it will be difficult to challenge the state Supreme Court because the US Supreme Court said state gerrymandering cases could not be heard in Federal courts.
Some very smart people (ie, not Trump) have been plotting this shit for decades. Everything they can do to disenfranchise the people who don't think, look, or fuck like they do.
(All said, still gonna vote Blue in November. Not because I'm a Democrat, but because I'm not an asshole.)
Governor’s mansion is certainly a start
She established the Blue Wall, taking the Rust Belt
She put the Sun Belt in play.
Now she's putting North Carolina in play.
Not bad for three weeks work.
That’s certainly not because women are incompetent cat ladies who aren’t capable of things that only men could do. Not at all.
Calling it now: Florida is in play.
This is a good comment...

Well, now we know who will get the blame if he loses the state.
