Carolina dreamin'
How Democrats win North Carolina. My new piece at MSNBC
From my new article for MSNBC: “Four years ago, Trump drove out his older, working-class base, creating the most favorable electorate possible for him, and still won by only just 1.3 points. Now North Carolina Democrats see an opportunity to break down the barriers that have kept them from celebrating federal victories for 16 years."

Very well written and detailed article! However, you missed on the context on how the overtly racist current and prior voter ID laws and surgerical precision outlawing some forms of valid IDs were used to disqualify college and black voters in 2012, 2014, 2016, and 2018. Another form of this unconstitutional mess has been reintroduced in 2024 to hamper younger, college, black, and brown voter turnout again.
We live in Wilkes County a very Republican county. In the last 5 days we have gotten 4 full color pro-Trump and anti-Harris mailers from the NC Republican Party. Are these being mailed to other parts of the state? Are the NC Republicans really worried? Why are they targeting such a pro-Trump area? Eva Ingle, Laurel Springs
