Question: When did voters from the state the most successful American Idol contestant this season is from once again vote for someone from the party that dominated South Carolina's legislature?

theories given for the success of southerners on idol have been: more versatility with musical genres, as the southern u.s. is home to several music genre scenes; not having as many opportunities to break into the pop music business; text-voting due to the south having the highest percentage of cell-phone only households; and the strong heritage of music and singing, which is notable in the bible belt, where it is in church that many people get their start in public singing. others also suggest that the southern character of these contestants appeal to the south, as well as local pride. according to season five winner taylor hicks, who is from the state of alabama, "people in the south have a lot of pride ... so, they're adamant about supporting the contestants who do well from their state or region." <SEP> North Carolina's party loyalties have undergone a series of important shifts in the last few years: While the 2010 midterms saw Tar Heel voters elect a bicameral Republican majority legislature for the first time in over a century, North Carolina has also become a Southern swing state in presidential races. In the 1990s, Democrat Bill Clinton came within a point of winning the state in 1992 and also only narrowly lost the state in 1996. In the early 2000s, Republican George W. Bush easily won the state by over 12 points, but by 2008, demographic shifts, population growth, and increased liberalization in heavily populated areas such as the Research Triangle, Charlotte, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Fayetteville, and Asheville, propelled Barack Obama to victory in North Carolina, the first Democrat to win the state since 1976. In 2012, North Carolina was again considered a competitive swing state, with the Democrats even holding their 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte. Since Southern Democrat Jimmy Carter's comfortable victory in the state in 1976, the state had consistently leaned Republican in presidential elections until Democrat Barack Obama narrowly won the state in 2008. However, Republican Mitt Romney ultimately eked out a 2-point win in North Carolina, the only 2012 swing state that Obama lost, and one of only two states (along with Indiana) to flip from Obama in 2008 to the GOP in 2012. <SEP> Investment in the city continued. The William Enston Home, a planned community for the city's aged and infirm, was built in 1889. The Democrat-dominated state legislature passed a new constitution in 1895 that disfranchised blacks, effectively excluding them entirely from the political process, a second-class status that was maintained for more than six decades in a state that was majority black until about 1930. An elaborate public building, the United States Post Office and Courthouse, was completed by the federal government in 1896 in the heart of the city. <SEP> olin dewitt talmadge johnston (november 18, 1896april 18, 1965) was a democratic party politician from the us state of south carolina. he served as the 98th governor of south carolina, 1935–1939 and 1943–1945, and represented the state in the united states senate from 1945 until his death from pneumonia in columbia, south carolina in 1965. <SEP> Since the show's inception in 2002, ten of the fourteen Idol winners, including its first five, have come from the Southern United States. A large number of other notable finalists during the series' run have also hailed from the American South, including Clay Aiken, Kellie Pickler, and Chris Daughtry, who are all from North Carolina. In 2012, an analysis of the 131 contestants who have appeared in the finals of all seasons of the show up to that point found that 48% have some connection to the Southern United States. <SEP> Despite being eliminated earlier in the season, Chris Daughtry (as lead of the band Daughtry) became the most successful recording artist from this season. Other contestants, such as Hicks, McPhee, Bucky Covington, Mandisa, Kellie Pickler, and Elliott Yamin have had varying levels of success.
