So, here is the electorate map for the state of North Carolina.

I have circled the general area where I am from. You will notice that this area is blue. It has always been that way (to my knowledge). This is a very rural and 'salt of the earth' part of the state. (It is also one of the oldest).

I am proud of this fact, but it still worries me that the rest of the state won't see the forest for the trees. I know we have some real 'winners' ( ) in my home state. They need to be put in their place.

Right now, the state is really struggling with its identity. I am hoping it will realize that its people are more important than the green god that has taken over this country. I know that this will never happen as things stand, but I still hold that hope.

(Probably the only 'hope' I have left. )
