NC GOP Chairman Says Democratic Voter Registrations Are Plummeting As Party Has 'Abandoned' Values

It was reported over the weekend that early voting numbers in North Carolina in 2024 exceeded 2020 numbers despite the devastation that Hurricane Helene brought to the state. Helene hit Florida a few weeks ago as a Category Four storm, and caused disastrous damage in Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. The Associated Press reports that parking lots at voting sites were full in areas in the Piedmont counties where there had been massive flooding from Hurricane Helene. “You have Democrats historically in this state fleeing its party because of the policies and direction that they have taken the party,” Simmons said. “They have abandoned the values that especially people here in North Carolina hold true.”
