Because Georgia is trending faster than North Carolina, I feel the Democrats need to focus more on Georgia than North Carolina.
North Carolina just threw out its incumbent Republican governor and vote in a Democrat even while Hillary lost the state.
When was the last time a Democrat won a statewide election in Georgia again?
2006 (Agriculture Commissioner)
They also won Attorney General in 2006.
And not directed to TNVol specifically, but using the argument "When was the last time [party] won a statewide office in [state] is a very stupid argument with regards to presidential elections. West Virginia elected a Democrat statewide last month and no one is saying it will be competitive in 2020. Governor races are not presidential races. Next several gubernatorial elections I could see Democrats winning Oklahoma, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, etc...
