  • Tight electoral margins might be thought to foster centrism. In reality, partisan power grabs are incentivized.

The article from Time magazine discusses North Carolina's pivotal role as a swing state in U.S. elections, highlighting its historical and current political dynamics. North Carolina has oscillated between Republican and Democratic victories, with its 2020 election results showing a narrow win for Donald Trump over Joe Biden. The state's political landscape is influenced by a mix of urban, suburban, and rural voters, with significant demographic shifts, particularly in areas like Charlotte and the Research Triangle, which have become more Democratic. Despite these trends, the state's conservative leanings in rural areas and its history of close races make it a critical battleground. The article also touches on the state's economic and cultural changes, including the growth of tech industries and the impact of national issues like abortion and education, which continue to shape voter preferences. This blend of factors underscores why North Carolina remains a key state to watch in national politics.
