Moved here to Wayne County a little over 2 years ago from NJ. Funny thing is, in NJ I was in a red, very gerrymandered congressional district that flipped to blue right after I moved to NC. My NC congressional rep was a Dem (Butterfield), but in the election of 2016, my first in NC, my district in NC (Goldsboro) was changed through gerrymandering to a Repub, Rouzer. I can't win! The district I moved from moved from red to blue and the one I moved into moved from blue to red! I must be a jinx.
