1. I get it

[JustAnotherGen]

2. So we don't have a Democratic Party Candidate in the race?

That's a pivot district - went 45 in 2016.

The party needs to shift money to the NJ 7th. Malinowski's odds just increased yesterday. We can flip it here.

3. 'Charlie' a.k.a. Charles Dawson Deaton is a graduate student. Her plans might have changed (?)

[JustAnotherGen]

10. It is STILL one less seat to worry about

It can't be won - and as you posted below - there is a hope for Indies.

We've got Republicans in the 7th District who WILL be voting to send Tom to Washington. They are a sure thing.

Give us the money so we can help impeach Trump.

[Donkees]

11. The Democratic Party is supporting the Indie in this NC race, at least they might have the ...

largest voter turnout this year and keep some hope for a better future working together.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. The State Party is -

And that's good for you guys in your state.


But in my district - we are supporting Tom with the intention that he NEVER works together with the opposition.

Like - Never, ever.

He's going to be star if he holds to that.

[Donkees]

13. This year seems to have the strongest candidate and best opportunity for Malinowski to defeat Lance

[Kaleva]

4. The Repup incumbent has been winning by double digits since 2006 I believe.

5. Excerpt: 'Supreme Court sends NC partisan gerrymander case back for more arguments'

Supreme Court sends NC partisan gerrymander case back for more arguments

North Carolina has been described as one of the most gerrymandered states, and over the past seven years voters have chosen elected officials for the General Assembly and U.S. Congress from election districts that were later struck down by the courts as either racial or partisan gerrymanders.

6. This doesn't have anything to to do with state House districts.

[Donkees]

7. It may be that the extreme gerrymandering in NC depresses Dem voter turnout overall (?)

[Kaleva]

8. That could be true.

9. 'There have been calls for us to get our power back in the county ... ' - Democratic Party Chair

County Democrats, lately sitting on the sidelines of many local races, have charged up this year in preparation for what they are branding “a blue tsunami.”

“There have been calls for us to get our power back in the county, so to speak,” Democratic Party Chairman Tina Willis Rodriguez said this week.

Despite Democrats only making up about 24 percent of registered county voters, she said the party is hopeful and shifting gears to attempt tapping into the county’s unaffiliated population.

“There’s a leaning of these unaffiliated voters to the left, nationally, that previously we haven’t seen,” Ms. Willis Rodriguez said.

For Carteret County, unaffiliated voters account for roughly 34 percent of eligible registered individuals.
