Sweet!

In other news, rumors have it that jimrtex testified as an expert for Harris. Actually, he's technically still testifying. He's been droning on in the witness stand for several hours even after the court gave up went to consider its decision, came back to the courtroom and announced it, all without a break. There's a couple boom mic operators for the media putting away their Electronics gear in the courtroom, but off in the corner on the witness stand there still a droning monotone about the 1976 Bladen County Sheriff's election results

That is probably why McCready lost - he didn't know that Bladen County was in the district. How many times did he speak in Elizabethtown, and how many times did he fly out to Hollywood or San Francisco for a fund raising event?

He managed to win all the other rural counties that he "didn't know" were in the district

Yeah, it seems pretty ridiculous that this process is somehow not already further along. Congress has been seated for almost a month now, and it was clear since well before then that there was a major problem here. Schedule a special election ASAP.

Bladen County isn't in NC-9, Jim. You might be looking at an older map before they redistricted.

also the rurals  were actually the D part of the district in 2012 and the burbs were the R part.

Anyway this district and ky 06 and ohio 12th are all quite similar.

umm, the rural areas are still the democratic part of the seat? The only county won by Harris was Union (not counting Bladen for obvious reasons)

Mecklenburg and the rurals are the Democratic parts of the seat, Union is the Republican stronghold (I think it correlates very much with the WOW counties in WI).

mecklenburg is more of a tossup area, but one dems need to win easily to win the seat.

Bladen County isn't in NC-9, Jim. You might be looking at an older map before they redistricted. 

About half of Bladen County is in NC-09, on the maps as they were redrawn in 2016.

In addition to Charlotte suburbs and rural areas, the district also includes suburbs of Fayetteville (basically everything south and east of the city center).

Most of Bladen is in the 9th, though it looks like Elizabethtown is split in two.  It was an obvious gerrymander with some fraud thrown in on top.

McCain won this portion of Bladen 54-44. Even with the funky absentee votes, McCready lost it 56-41. That isn't a huge difference lol.

Look at the results for Anson, Richmond, and Scotland counties. Without knowing anything about those counties, which has the largest share of black voters?

Elizabethtown is tiny compared to towns such as Laurinburg and Rockingham, and is divided between two congressional districts. McCready's $44/vote was mostly spent on media buys, which would have been concentrated in Charlotte, which would reach those in Anson, and Richmond.

The facts are that the results, whether by election day voting, early voting in person, or by absentee were consistent with the partisan composition of the electorate.
