Early results in from NC: http://www.wral.com/news/political/page/10991843/ If you're reading this around the time I post it, know that a lot of those "yes" counties are some of the most populous conservative-leaning counties (Rowan, Iredale, Johnston), and while Mecklenburg (Charlotte) is in, Wake (Raleigh) and Durham are not. Watch Cabarrus, Union, and Gaston. Are all major suburbs of Charlotte and turnout there will matter, though it's likely the churches are much more mobilized there than the anti-A1 forces. Wow, I'm watching the lead move back and forth all over the place in real-time right now. EDIT: a bunch of stuff in the east just came in. Those are areas that are usually blue, but due to lots of black, socially conservative voters in smaller cities like Wilson and Rocky Mount. Looks like they're going in favor of A1, which has given "Yes" a 35,000 vote lead

Well, it looks like Wake went to the "NO" side by a lot.  My home county, however, is 80-20 "YES."  Charlotte/Meck is still out. I'm seeing less than 5% in.

OneEightHundred posted:e: Nevermind, I can't read. I mean, I'm inclined to agree since I'm pissed right now, but this is also a state that saw through his type of bullshit from time to time and voted for relatively progressive, pro-education governors. NC was actually one of the states that embraced integration the most in the south. Still, if CA can't get it right, why should we? Oh well, I live out of state now, so gently caress it.

Btw, NC banned all forms of civil union today. The only valid union is marriage between and man and woman. I haven't quite figured out what this means if my wife and I moved to NC to be closer to my family (we have a civil union in California).
