You just described a rather large DIFFERENCE between the two states as a way to claim that they are basically the same ...did you miss that?

Also ... Charlotte is no just a larger city ... its more like cities in the north. Much more diverse that anything you will find in SC. Raleigh, not large, but diverse ... Asheville, not large, but liberal ... I could go on. Lots of areas that lean LEFT.

And then ... we could compare University systems ... UNC (including Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Charlotte, Asheville, Willmigton .... ), Duke, Wake Forrest .... versus what in SC?? ... Bob Jones University? (ok, maybe Clemson, but after that???)

What about education levels ??? Raleigh was #5 in the entire US ...

Again ... NC and SC are worlds apart.
