Quite a few NC counties that voted for Obama four years ago switched to Trump. Some of these counties were pretty tight, others (Robeson) were reliably Democratic
Republicans did surprisingly well in NC, especially considering the HB2 thing. Even the governor's race is going to take some time to actually decide legally. I really did not expect the overall results I see from NC, given all the things I have been reading here in the forum.

North Carolina is two states. The urban areas voted against Trump by a wide margin, he lost the Triangle, Charlotte, Asheville and the Triad by healthy margins.
There are just a lot of rural voters are there who responded to his message, and are still enough to tip the state.
It is actually shocking to me that when Trump won NC by 4 points, it looks like McCrory will still lose. Really a powerful referendum on how unpopular he is.
I kept telling people that if Romney was a weak candidate and still beat Obama in NC in 2012 then there was no way in hell that Clinton would win NC over Trump. The rural areas of NC still wield most of the political power in the state.
Glad to see McCory lose though. HB2 has had dire economic effects on the state and it wasn't worth it. For that alone he deserved to lose.

May indicate that the forum is dominated by a handful of left-wing zealots who are divorced from reality, eh wot?
