Make this make sense.
Practically every statewide Democrat in NC won overwhelmingly yet somehow Trump managed to win
-Josh Stein, Democrat, won Governor over Mark Robinson by about 800,000 votes
-Lieutenant governor was won by Democrat Rachel Hunt by 150,000 votes
-Attorney General Jeff Jackson defeated Dan Bishop by 125,000 votes
-Superintendent of Education Maurice Greene won by 110,000
-Secretary of State Elaine Marshall won by 120,000 votes
Yet, Trump inexplicably managed to win" by 189,406 votes while every other Democrat won statewide
(Correction: 86,458 ballots were cast for Trump only without voting for any other candidate or party on the ballot. 5,631,769 total votes and 5,545,311 for governor.)

-Trump secured more votes even in counties that typically run blue
-Lower turnout was largely due to Democrats not showing up (purged )
-Trump improved margins in red and blue counties even closing the gap in Durham by a couple thousand votes and that is the most -In Wake County Harris got about 4000 more votes than Biden did in 2020 but Trump doubled that adding about 8000 votes to his total
-Charlotte, Fayetteville, Greensboro were all places that Democrats really need to win but where Harris actually did worse than Biden 4 years ago
-Trump made inroads among some minority communities -- especially black and Hispanic men -- we don't have the official data yet on voter turnout by race but we do have some clues that Trump won at least 3 different majority minority counties: Nash, Anson county east of Charlotte a place that Biden also won in 2020 and Robeson County -- the most diverse county in the state even in the nation -- 1/3 are white a third black 1/3 Native American Trump got 63% of the vote in that incredibly diverse county in southeast NC

North Carolina removes 747,000 from voter rolls, citing ineligibility

"North Carolinas State Board of Elections has removed 747,000 people from its list of registered voters within the last 20 months, officials announced Thursday in a press release.
The State Board of Elections in the release said the majority of those stripped from the rolls were deemed ineligible to be registered because they had moved within the state and did not register their new address, or because they did not participate in the past two federal elections, prompting an inactive status.
"The purge comes just a few weeks after North Carolina Republicans filed a lawsuit that said the state had failed to act on complaints about ineligible people on voter rolls. In the GOP lawsuit, a Wake County resident in North Carolina claimed voter registration forms in that county did not include drivers license and Social Security numbers.
By failing to collect certain statutorily required information prior to registering these applicants to vote, Defendants placed the integrity of the states elections into jeopardy, the lawsuit read.

(44,716 posts)The total number of votes cast in the presidential contest in North Carolina currently stands at 5,640,013. The total number of votes in the governor's race is 5,545,360. That's a difference of 94.653. That couldn't be the case if there were 356,884 votes that only were cast in the presidential race and not in any other race. Moreover, the fact that there were around 1.7% fewer votes cast in the Governors race is not suspicious. In presidential election years, there typically are more votes cast in the presidential race than in down ballot races. And in North Carolina, given the utter collapse of Mark Robinson's campaign, it is particularly unsurprising that a lot of voters would simply take a pass on that contest.

(1,307 posts)So only 94,653 of those votes excluded the governor. That makes it impossible for there to be 356,884 votes that exclude the governor (and all the other races).
Am I getting the math wrong somehow?

(267 posts)Like it makes a shit-stain of difference if you have the facts to back you up.
This is all pointless, depressing propaganda.
Everything is probably pointless, depressing propaganda if you're reading it here, or anywhere else.

(25,597 posts)I'm pretty sure throwing together a video and a TikTok as proof isn't enough to convince anyone of anything.
Purges happen as a routine in every state. They are required by law. If the records were not properly maintained then there would be worse problems than those that are implied here. Which are extremely dubious claims with no concrete evidence regardless.
It's alarmist and the deliberate spreading of misinformation is disinformation. Neither one is helpful.
Also, those numbers were debunked already several times by NCSBE. They know what they're doing. I know. I've worked closely with them.
There is nothing nefarious going on with NCSBE. It's totally non-partisan and run as one of the most respected and ethical organizations in the country not just in North Carolina.
It doesn't make sense because it is nonsense to begin with. Sorry.

(52,652 posts)Race. We split council of state races losing auditor, treasurer, and agriculture, labor, and insurance commissioners. We also list 3 appellate judicial races and are narrowly behind in the Supreme Court race.
