I worked the early polls the last 3 days here in NC. I live in the bible belt of NC.
One of our poll workers a black woman voted while she was here on the first day of early voting. I was checking in people on the computer to give them an ATV form so they could get a ballot to vote. When I pulled up her name she had two entries showing and yet only one where I could give her a ballot. The reason why she had two entries was she had recently changed her designation from Democrat to Independent voter. So the original showed Democrat. No ballot could be given except under her Independent status. Interestingly enough I talked with her a different day and she told me there was a lot of cheating in the last election. I assume she voted for Trump before this election and she decided only recently after seeing what is happening in the Democrat party that she can no longer be a Dem. I might add she brought her bible with her to read while she worked the very slow polls.... this election is just local for mayors and town boards. With only 10 towns in this county there were only 15 total voters who came out to vote at the one stop polls for my county in 3 days. And yet our polls are open until Oct 30 th. A pitiful waste of money if you ask me. But that is a whole nuther topic.
Yesterday while I was there there were two other Black registered Dems who were poll workers were discussing the Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson comment. Basically he said what they are pushing down into our schools on LGBTQ stuff is "filth". And he has been told to resign by lefties in the state.
But they both agreed with Mark Robinson. I know our Lt. Governor Mark Robinson (Republican) is running for Governor of NC next year so I can see him getting in just from what I heard from registered Democrats. FWIW Mark Robinson will be just what NC needs as Governor. I can see a ton of registered Black Dems voting for him
Also NC here and I support this message. A couple of my black friends voted Trump and told me their family were older and would never switch parties. This was a year or so ago. We’ll see, the tide is shifting.
