In this last election Donald Trump won the state of North Carolina which helped ensure his victory over Kamala Harris. North Carolina which can be a swing state went red and much of that was because of its largest and perhaps most important city Charlotte where many people voted for him. Charlotte is quite the city with its very clean streets and magnificent buildings and all the stuff you can do, and they sure know how to vote right, a bigger and better city than Atlanta Georgia and other southern cities.
 
So what? Trump won the election. There is no actual need for an autopsy.
 
Charlotte is not bigger than Atlanta, but good for them. I'd visit if I were an East Coast person.

Alrighty then. I'll look up my area.*

Harris 49.32%
Trump 48.32%

Charlotte sounds fun, but my soul is in the mountains.

* that's Washoe County. Trump won in Carson City, Douglas, Lyon and Storey counties

As far as I can tell, the county Charlotte is in went 65.6% for Harris.

When you make up statistics and post lies in the future, could you invest more than 30 seconds into it so that it takes at least that long to debunk your lie?

Savage.

Charlotte instantly just became a cesspool of crime to the OP.

LOL. Classic MAGA trolling fail.
 
Not very much of a "debate challenge" and more of an homage to "the continuing failure of self-fluffing avatars" and we now know that the handle "Debate Challenge" will be interpreted as "no challenge whatsoever".

I was thinking that the OP post was debate-challenged, as in not up to the task of debating.
 
If he thinks Charlotte, NC, is bigger than Atlanta, GA, you can't really expect sense from his posts.
 

Atlanta–Sandy Springs–Roswell metropolitan statistical area = 6,307,261


Charlotte–Concord–Gastonia, NC–SC Metropolitan Statistical Area = 2,595,027

Both figures are for their core Metropolitan Statistical Areas only, not their greater combined statistical areas.

Puts things into a better perspective.

In any event, comparing city to city is a fool's errand. The core city of Atlanta is jammed into the relatively geographically small Fulton County and a small portion in DeKalb County. The core city of Charlotte sits in the geographically larger Mecklenburg County.

When talking of Atlanta, you have to consider Fulton, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Cobb, Douglas, Clayton, Henry, Newton and Rockdale counties which encompass the urban population.

When talking of Charlotte, you pretty much can consider Mecklenburg County alone for the urban core and principle suburbs. While the out suburbs and exurbs extend into neighboring counties, they don't offset the Republican lean of those counties.

Charlotte takes one county Democratic, while Atlanta takes nine counties Democratic.

Atlanta can take the State of Georgia blue, if its population is motivated enough.

Charlotte could take the State of North Carolina blue, but only if the Raleigh/Durham and other blue centers in the State are equally motivated.

Bottom line, Charlotte is not as close to influential as Atlanta.

Harris won Washoe County, which I predicted that she would. But I thought that Harris would win Clark County by more than she did. Harris won Clark County by only 2.6%. She needed to win Clark County by at least seven percent if she wanted to win Nevada.
