Related: About this forumObama registers more new voters in NC than in any other state!
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Dozens of volunteers armed with clipboards and voter registration forms gather at President Barack Obama's field office here every day. Their mission: Fan out across the city seeking new voters in this rapidly growing state.
The effort, it seems, has borne fruit to the tune of more than 250,000 new registered voters in North Carolina since April 2011, according to Obama's team. That's more new voters than the campaign has registered anywhere else in the country.

were "disillusioned", that everyone else must be as well. This is beginning to put those narratives in their proper perspective.

Unlike the Thuglicans. I've registered voters in Democratic areas and have run across Thuglicans who want to register. I hold my nose but I turn those forms in as do all of us in NC.
