It would appear to be the case. Its  possible dem enthusiasm has peaked.

The breakdowns will be interesting...

I wish people would realize how important voting is on all levels.

From your lips to God's ears.

Unfortunately, if the Dems have a person of color or a woman of any color in 2020....we will see the Dems remotivated.

Midterms in my Borough are awful for turnout.  The polls are practically deserted.

We already know the spin. He only won by a few thousand votes. The GOP is finished. Trump is out of political capital. It's over in 2020.

Y'all NC folk give us a rundown....  It's my understanding this is a stronger Dem district, so this was a statement win for us...

It has been GOP controlled for over 50 years. However, the growing eastern part of Charlotte is changing the mix. The more conservative western part of the district is not growing as quickly. I suspect the next redistricting will change NC #9.

Isn't this the district that a court redesigned due to gerrymandering?

The court case was about the entire state, not just one district As I posted in an earlier post, both parties have gerrymandered. However, as Obama said, "Elections have consequences". The GOP just recently won control of the entire legislautre for the first time in over 100 years. The corrections they made to districts were substantial and this generated the lawsuits.

Yes. For the 9th district. The states that border SC is the poorest large geographical area n NC (you could argue a are in the NE of the state matches it). The area has about $700 a week average household income and that is not skewed by a tourist areas service industry.
Before moving to the coast, I ran a company about 50 miles away but most of the laborers came from this new district and they traveled because there were few jobs in these southern counties.. It is agriculture and once a year had a Nascar race so that people knew it existed.
If you look at the previous maps then you see they were around the wealthier Charlotte area but not the city.

Look at the changes at the bottom of the page for recent elections.

It has not been completed as of now. The democrats desire to change my district in WNC where Mark Meadows is the rep. Redistricting split Asheville/Buncombe which decimated an island of leftists in an otherwise conservative district.
