Looking at the edge of each state, it appears there are a lot more Democratic voters in the Western edge of NC than in Virginia.  Specifically, Obama kept Romney in Madison, Swain, Jackson, and Haywood Counties down to the mid 50's, while in Virginia's Southwest tip, all of the counties went 60%+ for Romney.  I know that SW Virginia swung hard against Obama because it's coal country, but isn't Western NC coal country as well?

In North Carolina it's illegal to have a building that obstructs the natural curvature of a mountain, let alone a coal mining operation.

Interesting.  I just saw a map of coal mines by county and it had a lot of Western Virginia, as well as WVA, most of Kentucky, and the eastern half of TN, but NC was completely not on there.

Why did NC adopt this law but not other parts of Appalachia?
