Gosh, can't imagine anything like that happening based on the reasoned & rational responses to her in this thread.

If you want to take it at face value, sure.
However, the GOP was bragging in November that they were going to flip 1 to 3 dems sometime after January. It just so happens that 3 dems missed the recent vote on gun control and Cotham was one of them. So if we draw the obvious line there it's clear Cotham campaigned as a dem while at least strongly considering a party switch.
The NC GOP also has a history of using bribery to entice party switches. Cotham was actually able to get her seat because one opened because of such a bribery scandal.
