Among NC unaffiliated absentee voters: nearly 1/3 are Millennials & Gen Xers who live in urban counties. Suspect more lean D than lean R?

who registered independent because he's a contrarian. He votes straight Democratic. My gut tells me that the vast majority of independent millennials in urban NC are dems.

I'm a moderate. I haven't voted for any Republicans since McCain unleashed that psycho shit stain Palin. Republicans get worse and worse every year. The only reason I don't register Democrat is because I hate the push for legalizing drugs for recreational use and the whole "we know what's best for you" type of crap. My kids and I have suffered a great deal because of their fathers drug use. It pisses me off on such a deep, visceral level when I hear people claim drug use is a "victimless" crime. Tell that to my kids, they know better. So yeah...drug positions mainly is why I refuse to call myself a Democrat. I'm all in for social justice, equality, sensible gun control, reasonable environmental protection...but goddamn it I freaking DESPISE drugs.
