Asheville, NC provided nearly a 30,000 vote margin for Democrats in 2020. Anyone else concerned that many of these people will be unable to cast votes or will be unhappy to support the Federal Govt in Nov? Many may also just leave the area.

Valid concern depending on their satisfaction or lack thereof with the federal response. Obama benefited from the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy but the destruction in Asheville seems considerably worse and could leave voters understandably cranky as they head to the polls, which wouldn't benefit the incumbent party.
It's an imponderable at the moment. But I think any problems with disaster relief are probably going to be blamed more on the governor. I could be wrong.
And doesnтАЩt seem we are having issues right with disaster relief efforts. Most politicians have learned the lessons from the past. They warn people earlier, scare them harder into evacuating and help starts pouring in immediately.
тАЬIf you plan to stay, write your name in permanent marker on your armтАЭ is such fantastic marketing/messaging. We care, we worry about you but if you really write your info in permanent marker on your arm, then youтАЩre an idiot and deserve what happens to you.
I understand economic situations can make it seem impossible for some people to leave. Good samaritans exist, just ask for help!

I actually think they will be able to cast their ballots if they so choose; whether they want to is a whole different thing
Why would they be particularly unhappy with the government?
