1. 2016 - both parties held competitive primaries. 2020 - only Dems held a competitive primary.

The lack of a competitive primary for Republicans is the major reason why that difference increased 44 points. Yes, Wake is a reliably blue county but some context is needed here.

2. Good point I wonder what the Dem to Dem turnout was in actual numbets

That would be apples to apples.

5. These numbers really don't mean anything

I didn’t vote in the SC Dem primary this week. The reason - there wasn’t a single Dem race in my precinct. By the logic of this guy’s tweet, that would mean I moved towards the Rs.

6. If you were there more than 20 years ago

You wouldn’t know Cary. It’s now the 7th largest city in N.C.
Basically an upper class bedroom community for Raleigh-Durham.

11. Wake County is the home of Raleigh, NC. The capitol city of our great state.

The Koch brother bought North Carolina in the early 2000's. The republicans screwed up everything, and we still have a majority republican house and senate in our state government as a result of all that koch, and later, Russian money coming into the state.

I hope those days are over.
