... also I'm of the opinion that some GOP members are also voting blue this time. The mailed ballots make it easier to decide privately at home that "Enough is enough!" and vote for the other guy.
My feeling is that most of the indies are motivated to vote against Chump for one reason or another. That includes a lot of younger voters who have liberal sensibilities but are turned off by both political parties. Maybe they won't join our Party, but they're smart enough to see the damage that Chump has done in the last 4 years. I was there for a lot of years, I remained independent until 2008, but I always voted with the Democrats.
Congratulations North Carolina Democrats!
