Democrats come out on top in Charlotte and Greensboro elections

Municipal elections and second primaries were held in several parts of North Carolina on Tuesday, and despite Republicans’ hopes, incumbent Democrats nearly swept council and mayoral seats in Charlotte and Greensboro, which were the two biggest cities holding elections.

Although Charlotte and Greensboro are generally Democratic strongholds, Republicans had their eyes on picking up seats in both cities – and they failed to do so. Not only is this good news for Democrats in North Carolina, but across the nation, voters are choosing blue down the ballot. 

Extremist Republicans were let down in the state’s largest cities and most important races on Tuesday, and as the GOP continues to push forth widely unpopular and discriminatory measures, voters can make sure they’re disappointed this November as well.
