With 2023 over, it is a good time to take stock of changes in voter registrations. There are now fewer Democrats, more Republicans, and a lot more unaffiliated voter registrations than two years ago. #ncpol

The 10-year trend is similar, with a decline in the number of Democrats, an increase in Republicans, and a big increase in unaffiliated voters.

Partisan registration is important because partisans have higher voter turnout than unaffiliated voters...

... and party members are more likely to vote straight ticket than are "partisan leaners."

The same data as a percentage more clearly shows the decline of Democrats in #ncpol and shows that Republicans are only keeping pace with North Carolina's increasing voter population. Image

I'm skimming through the (very late) congressional redistricting lawsuit now.

One quick note: A district that elects Democrats ≠ a minority opportunity district.

If that were the case, then the very White 49th Senate District (Asheville) is a minority opportunity. #ncpol
2/4
This lawsuit comes too late to stop candidate filing and is unlikely to stop the March primary.

It also fails the first Gingles test for claims of racial gerrymandering in all four of the districts in the complaint. #ncpol

3/4 The lawsuit simultaneously complains about CD 1 going from a combined Black and Latino population of 44.8% down to 44.6%

AND

CD 12 going from a combined Black and Latino population of 44.2% up to 48.6%. #ncpol

I heard that the Insider carried an article from the Daily Advance saying that John Locke wrote that Valerie Jordan could claim Warren County residency due to her government service.@dailyadvance @ncinsider #ncpol

Here is the original Locke article:

johnlocke.org/more-wrinkles-…
2/3
Here is the sentence in the Locke post referenced in the Insider:

"Jordan could claim to maintain a Warren County residency even though she lives in Raleigh under GS 163-57(9) by claiming she only lives in Raleigh due to her service in the state government."
3/4
The rest:

"However, a search of her voting record... reveals that she had been registered to vote in Wake County since 1998. Her appointment to the Department of Transportation Board by Gov. Roy Cooper did not cause her to leave Warren County; she was long gone before then."

The Valerie Jordan residency mess got me thinking about the Mark Meadows residency mess from earlier this year. A look at voting records finds a new set of problems. #ncpol

A search using the State Board Elections voter lookup tool (voting records are public) finds removed registrations of three people named "Mark Randell Meadows" #ncpol

Here are the three Mark Randell Meadows:

None of them voted in the same election. #ncpol

Part of the increase for unaffiliated registrations is that the NC State Board of Elections decertified two small parties this year and moved their members to unaffiliated.

About the latest electoral mess in Robeson County.

The State Board of Elections says that the Robeson BOE found 1,951 early voting ballots that had not been uploaded to the state board's results data. #ncpol #Election2020results @NCCivitas

The voting site in question is Pembroke Fire Department. A look at VoteTracker finds 1,947 votes there (not sure why there is a four-ballot difference). #ncpol

Democratic voters at that site outnumber Republicans about 3-to-1.

However, most of the voters are Native Americans, many of whom have been voting Republican lately despite their registration. #ncpol
