The 2020 United States presidential election was one of the most important in United States history. Incumbent president Donald Trump lost re-election, only winning the state of North Carolina by less than 2%.

So, I'm going on vacation for the next week (Holden Beach, NC) so I'll be off Twitter. But, as a parting gift, here's the presidential electoral history of Brunswick County, from 1940 to now (minus '92 and '96 since I couldn't find data) 🧵

The 2001 Charlotte mayoral election was a rematch of the 1999 election and McCrory's largest win of the new millennium. His Democratic opponent was former city councilwoman Ella Scarborough. 🧵

Earlier today, Vi Lyles won her 4th term to office against real estate counselor Misun Kim, among many wins for North Carolina Democrats. Outperforming her 2022 numbers, she swept nearly every precinct (and she might after absentees are allocated).

In the 2021 Detroit mayoral election, incumbent Mike Duggan won re-election to his third term, defeating former deputy mayor Anthony Adams in a non-partisan election, despite both being registered Democrats.

Last November in North Carolina, one of the goals of the NCGOP was to gain a supermajority in the state legislature, overriding governor Cooper's veto. However, they fell one vote short in the house due to HD-73, a suburban district in Cabarrus County.

Part 1: The olden days, 1940, 1944, 1948 and 1952. The end of FDR's reign, where he won the county in each of his elections. However, at the end the county went VERY narrowly for Eisenhower in '52, giving us our only tied precinct, Secession.
In 2022, North Carolina Republicans regained their majority on the state Supreme Court, after Democrats lost one open seat previously held by them, and one incumbent Democrat losing re-election. 🧵

, here's a map of 2018 Proposition 2, the end result of the Utah Medical Cannabis Act initiative. A group named "Utah Parents Coalition" collected over 153k signatures to get the measure on the ballot. 🧵

Since it's relevant, here's the electoral history of infamous state representative Tricia Cotham (R-Mint Hill), who recently switched from Democrat to Republican meaning Roy Cooper has basically lost his veto powers, citing apparent harassment by Democrats. 🧵

In an mixed night for Mecklenburg Dems, they helped Vi Lyles improved on her 2022 numbers, while they failed to flip the 6th city council district, the most competitive district in the city. However, Lyles won the 6th AND 7th with over >60% of the vote.

Part 3: 1972, 1976, 1980 and 1984. What'd we see in 1972 with Democrats getting cornerd into Hoods Creek, would get made up in 1976 where we'd have our only precinct sweep in recent-ish Brunswick County history, with Jimmy Carter.
Part 2: 1956, 1960, 1964 and 1968. Starting off with another close win for Eisenhower, we'd see more general Democrat support in the Southwestern and Eastern portions of the county, and more Republican support in the Ash-Exum-Waccamaw precincts (which I had to combine as-
So y'all know what North Carolina is. Y'all also know it's voted in presidential elections since 1952 (and just a bit before). Y'all also know it has congressional districts. Got all that down? Good. Here's some maps. 🧵

trying to find a new style for my maps and didn't really like this one but still thought it looked kinda cool

I lost my metamask wallet and my instagram was hacked. By the way, I need a sugar daddy because I got scammed and all my NFTs were stolen and now I can’t afford shrooms, and then I dropped my airdrops into the toilet. Someone hacked my crypto wallet and I need help on a essay.
1992. Extremely ugly borders. This election would break the trend of North Carolina voting for the nationwide winner. And y'all know about Perot.
Fun Fact: This is the last time a candidate has failed to win a majority of the counties, as both Bush and Clinton won 50 each.
In 2018, incumbent U.S. senator Tammy Baldwin ran for re-election against state senator Leah Vukmir. Baldwin won by a large margin for Wisconsin, denying Vukmir the opportunity to get 60% in any congressional district.

Part 4: 1988, 2000, 2004 and 2008. As we reach the modern day, we see the collapse of the ancestral Democrat that once swept the county. Longwood, and others like Shalotte to a lesser extent, all switched from Dems to the GOP. The last hopes for this county flipping, gone.
Part 5: 2012, 2016 and 2020. Now we've reached the modern day, with the final areas flipping, like Hoods Creak, Leland and Supply. The final remaining Democratic area is Woodburn, with Biden only receiving 55.5% of the vote there in 2020. Long gone are the days of FDR and Carter.
2016 is Marco Rubio & Chris Christie vs. Joe Biden & Hillary Clinton
2020 is Marco Rubio & Jeb Bush vs. Andrew Cuomo & Kay Hagan
2028 is Jeb Bush & Rob Portman vs. Evan Bayh & Ted Kennedy Jr.
2032 is Michelle Obama & Julian Castro vs. Jon Huntsman & Susana Martinez
This era was categorized by high Democratic support in North Brunswick County, around the Hoods Creek-Leland area, which would be a theme kept until the modern day, and in other regions like Southport and Frying Pan.
okay: i'm rewriting the entire 2022 nc state house page with maps and more details
i have all the maps done so if you wanna see one feel free to ask but besides for that i'm rewriting it here if you wanna check out my progress (very early on rn)
Cabarrus County is, shockingly, a county. While mainly known for Concord, there are 5 more municipalities, each having mayoral elections.
From 2019 to 2022 they had nonpartisan elections between Republicans and Independents. Here's how they went.
