We live in a small mountain town here in western North Carolina. I went yesterday at 2 p.m. and half the booths had people in them. The woman at the registration table said it felt like actual voting day.

My House representative is Mark Meadows (YUCK, the worst of the worst!). It felt so good to vote for his Democratic opponent. I took a former Republican who voted against him as well, so at least we didn't cancel each other out. My Republican friend said we HAVE to have checks and balances against Trump and the R's in Washington. He too voted against all the amendments which the NC Democratic Party suggests doing.

This county is red, red, red. We have both ends of that R spectrum here: Rich, old white people and uneducated, ignorant white people. Seriously, very little middle ground or diversity as seen from the surface. But I will say, I did see more Democratic signs on the side of the road this year, going tit-for-tat with R signs.
