asheville, north carolina is similar in a sense. it's like the county is a spec of blue surrounded by a sea of red. and its congressional district has changed several times over the last decade, because of republican gerrymandering. there is currently a heated and expensive contest for the house seat, which was held by mark meadows, before he stepped down to join the white house, between 25-year-old republican madison hawthorne and democrat and retired air force colonel, moe davis, a former chief prosecutor of terrorism trials at guantanamo bay. both carolinas have very tight and very influential senate races. in the north, democratic challenger cal cunningham was polling well ahead of senator thom tillis for much of the summer, but as election day draws near, the race is essentially deadlocked. in the south, senator lindsey graham has experienced a major change of foreigtunes in recent months, mainly because of his decision to associate so closely with the trump administration's covid-19 response. prior to the pandemic, graham was
