Somewhat strange results of the poll: Georgia leads, but i wouldn't say there are too many moderate Republicans elected, say, to state legislature. Of course - you can find such moderate Republicans in Atlanta or it's close suburbs, but most of legislative districts there are hopelessly Democratic (and, generally, become even more so with time). North Carolina Republicans had a moderate "mountain" wing in the past (with such politicians as former governor Holshouser, for example), but now - almost completely dominated by "Jesse Helms wing" (it's enough to look at ACU ratings of North Carolina legislature). I really can't characterize any of North Carolina elected Republican governors or members of Congress since Holshouser time as anything, but "very conservative"....
P.S. In this "polarized time", when even in states like Connecticut, which used to have a lot of moderate and even liberal Republicans, but now have much less of them (and substantially more of "normal Trumpists") it's difficult to talk about "liberal Republicans" (or "conservative Democrats" for that matter): they exist, but they live in "political ghettoes". And their influence is far from being great.....
Yeah
Well I do think there are more liberal state GOPs than Georgia's in the South, there are definitely more conservative ones too (Georgia's GOP arguably being more liberal than average for the South at this point, although by no means liberal).
However, I do not understand the votes for North Carolina. The North Carolina GOP is one of the most hardline in the South, let alone the country.
