I thought it would be interesting to look at how the raw vote numbers for both parties changed during 2008-2016 considering how similar in population both states are.
North Carolina 2008:
D: 2,143k
R: 2,128K
North Carolina 2016:
D: 2,189k
R: 2,363K
D Gain 2008-2016: 46,000
R Gain 2008-2016: 235,000
Georgia 2008:
D: 1,844k
R: 2,048K
Georgia 2016:
D: 1,877k
R: 2,089K
D Gain 2008-2016: 33,000
R Gain 2008-2016: 41,000
What's interesting is how similar the increase in dem vote numbers is in both states, the number of votes cast for the democratic candidate basically increased by the same amount in Georgia as North Carolina. The Republican numbers are however very different with the gain in NC being much larger.
