Because a lot of Left Coastists and NE Leftists move here to the cities (Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte, UNC-Chapel Hill) for high tech jobs (Research Triangle Park,et.al. -- hey, that's what I did) and are changing the character of the place.

How is it then that the democrats owned this state 100% until the mid 1990's when republicans finally started winning some elections around this state?

And how was it that it wasn't until after the Yankee invasion that a republican finally won a seat on the council of state for the first time in history?

I think what you are seeing is this plus the few remaining yellow-dog Dems who vote Democrat because that's what their granddad did.

Because a lot of Left Coastists and NE Leftists

Just repeating a stereotype.

Many of the people who move in are conservatives from the midwest (they still count as Yankees) or escaping the cultural cesspool of the northeast. Some are liberals. Some are blacks from the South (and elsewhere) who vote Democrat.

Basnight, the Democrat senate majority leader who orchestrated this little move, is elected by redneck locals. Richard Morgan, the RINO who has helped Democrats hold onto power the last few years, is elected by redneck locals.

Yet, strangley, Raleigh is more Republican than 20 years ago.
