9. Democrats did not come out to vote in 2010

Sep 2016

Republicans took over the Legislature--gerrymandered districts--and in 2012 McCrory (who was known as a moderate Mayor of Charlotte)
won the Governor's office. He then proceeded to turn hard right--supported by all the right wing bigots in the Legislature--and for the first
time in over 100 years Republicans controlled the State of NC.

Democrats HAVE to vote in every election: Republicans do.
