GOP's Bishop headed to victory over McCready in tight NC District 9 race

26. Of course, but Dems need to improve their turnout in them regardless.

I realize that they had excellent early turnout, but the effort needs to be re-amped on election day proper with massive get-out-the-vote drive, caravans, etc. Even in this heavily gerrymandered district, the Dems had this race within their grasp. They could have done it, IMO, but they didn't drive enthusiasm on the last day - the most important day. The reality is that while early voting is great in that people can more or else pencil in a convenient time to go to the polls, the rest of eligible voters are not being sufficiently to get motivated and quit giving themselves excuses for not doing so for … reasons.

The only way to increase Democratic voters is to turn over rethug seats so that they start controlling some of those previously gerrymandered districts. I know that the gerrymandering process is a state-controlled process, but Washington needs to be setting voters on fire to start making changes that will drive local state elections.
