Unfortunately, it probably wouldn't make any difference. A whole lot of people (both Liberals and Conservatives) don't research individual candidates. They just hit straight party ticket and move on. Party affiliation is more important that the individual candidates' stances on issues that the voter may find important. Also, I doubt the reversal of an antiquated NC statute will be very high on people's list of priorites, unless they would be directly affected by it - like those who live in areas which are being targeted for annexation. Most who research the issues, may likely be more interested in the economy, for example.
