Of note is that New Hanover County is one of the 10 counties.

1. Tarrant County, Texas is Ruby red...

I'd be surprised if the Democrats in Tarrant county can overcome the voter-suppresion machine that is the County government.

2. New Hanover County, N.C.

Here's the cut and paste from the article re: New Hanover County

New Hanover County, N.C.

Some of the first British settlers along the North Carolina Tidewater settled in New Hanover Precinct, named for the German house that ruled Britain at the time. Dominated by Wilmington, New Hanover was part of the Democratic Solid South until Richard Nixon’s election in 1968. Since then, it has only voted for one Democratic presidential candidate — fellow Southerner Jimmy Carter.

But the GOP’s historic advantage there is shrinking. Obama came within 1,400 votes of winning New Hanover County in 2008, and Trump became the first Republican to win less than half the vote since George H.W. Bush split the conservative vote with Ross Perot in 1992.

“Like most of the state’s larger cities, Wilmington has seen an influx of urban white liberals, making the city more Democratic,” wrote John Wynne, a North Carolina elections analyst. “At the same time, affluent retirees, who tend to vote Republican, are settling along the beaches.”

Trump won the county by 2.9 percentage points. He won North Carolina by 3.6 points.

I can only hope that plenty of the NC population have awakened and will vote Dem
