Showing Original Post only (View all)The high price of apathy in North Carolina [View all]
Context Check:
There are approximately 6.6 million registered voters in NC. Of that number around 1.4 million voted for Tillis, or 21.4% of the registered voters. There are 9.8 million people in NC, and 14.3% of the population chose the leader for the other 85.7%.
Now we can argue about the cause(s) of apathy, but the disease itself is clearly diagnosed.
