Why did North Carolina trend D?

[TDAS04]

Simple, the stat usually votes about 6 points rightwards of VA and 5 points left of Georgia.

The real question is why when VA and GA moved 2 points left that NC didn't follow. The trend here makes more sense than dat swing.

I’m not surprised NC swung right.  I’m somewhat surprised it trended left, but not too much.

Compared to GA and VA, NC seems a bit more more WWC, if that’s the correct term.  GA is blacker, both VA and GA are richer and less rural.
