Answers to Quiz:
The first seven people listed are the current officers of the Dare County Democratic Party. Number eight and number nine, above, are the two delegates who will cast Dare County's votes for Senator Basnight's replacement later this month, along with delegates from the other seven counties in District I. (Beaufort, Washington, Tyrrell, Hyde, Dare, Currituck, Camden, Pasquotank).
Oddly, both Morey and Draper reside in Southern Shores, NC, which is considered by many Outer Banks residents to be a Republican stronghold. And, even more ironic is the fact, that, according to state voter registrations records, neither Morey or Draper were Dare County voters 10 or 12 years ago. All of which proves one thing, (1) politics is changing in Dare County, slowly; and, reinforces another, (2) that being, that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Number 10 on the list is a former or current (EOD doesn't know either) Grand Pooh Pah of the local Democratic Party and 3rd District Grand Dragon (or something like that) of the State Democratic Party.
If you haven't guessed it by now, EOD didn't score 100 on the test either.
That is what's so good about being an Unaffiliated voter these days.

Good one, Ray! Yep, I got a big ol fat ZERO!!!!
yep, JohnR....I knew you couldn't pass the test..you're an immigrant Republican who lives in Martin's Point..:)
It's a wonder they let you out of the gate over there. :)
HaHa, you're a funny man, Mr. Democrat! Keep up the good blogging!
0 Points, but then I am a proud republican
Hi, EOD. I realize this may not be how you intended the civics quiz, but it is possible to know several of the folks on the list without being a Democrat, registered or unregistered. :-)
I scored a 35 myself, but not due to involvement in any political forum, and I always vote. After all, I want the right to complain about the results, regardless of who wins or loses. ;-)
I knew who Susan Harmon Scott was only because she handled a divorce for a girlfriend years ago.....:-)
Hah! I got a 40 and your scoring is dead-on...I truly am an Unaffiliated Voter.
Hey Ray, Care to educate the masses on how exactly "Uncle Marc's" replacement will be determined?
I scored a 5....Why did I have to meet you Chris?
Darn it!
Correction,I scored a 10.I know him personally.
Oh my!
This is somewhat off the subject, though tied to it------has EOD ever gotten an answer from Basnight as to his rationale for exempting his residence of Manteo from the bag ban? As I've stated before, this smacks of arrogance, but, maybe I'm missing something?????
Scored 100! woohoo!!
Well, looks like EOD doesn't want to provide input to my Basnight Manteo bag exemption question-----maybe he's on vacation!
JohnR,
As EOD has stated before, this blog is dedicated primarily to county government(s). And it's getting to be a full time job.
Here's a couple of suggestions:
(1) email Sen. Basnight and ask him yourself. :)
(2) email one of your county commissioners and ask them to contact him. :)
(3) drive over to Manteo and knock on his door and ask him if he has any plastic bags he doesn't need. If he gives you any, please share them with us.
(4) drop off about ten cats in his yard and he'll be sure to go out looking for plastic bags. Then, follow him and ask him all the questions you want. ;):)
(5) Report back here.
HAHAHA, Mr. Ray, your suggestion to Johnr is hilarious. Love it!
YES, SIR! I will!-----Seriously, I thought maybe at some point you had asked him yourself, because, I know you didn't like the bag ban in general, and, as much as you like to "tweak" and delve, also conjectured that you had posed the Manteo exemption fiasco to him----
Since you mentioned it, I am considering dropping off some spare cats, though-----at your house! Happy day, Ray! Finally, an Auditor with a sense of humor!!!
