N.C. voter registration smashing records
Of 603,000 new voters, 48% are Democrats, 21% are Republicans, nearly a third are independents.

Republican strategist Carter Wrenn of Raleigh says what worries him aren't the registration numbers themselves but what they could represent.

“If people are registering at that rate for the Democrats, you've got to feel that the swing voters and independent voters are probably tending toward the Democrats, too,” he says. “That's doggone frightening.”
