Chapter five democrat, republican, white, black, green it's the democratic primary February 2020, Bladen County, North Carolina.
There's a flurry of candidate signs stuck in the ground, mostly Bloomberg and Buttigieg, which is odd.
They're not popular here.
But no one cares about the presidential primary much.
The race that matters is the county commissioner's race.

The main candidate challenging Cogdale is black, and there's another challenger in the primary who is white.
Having two black candidates run for the same seat here means they're in danger of splitting the black vote between them and letting the white guy run up the middle.
The black guy running against Cogdale has been launched at him like a grenade by none other than Minnie Price, former treasurer of the pac, who recently quit in frustration about how Horace and Cogdale were behaving as leaders of the group.
