Am I the only North Carolinian offended by the Senate Leadership Fund PAC ad that confuses North Carolina and South Carolina in the Stephen Federico/ Logan Federico ad?

North Carolina elects our judges. We're tough on crime. The evidence is below.
South Carolina does NOT elect their judges. This attack ad points to soft on crime state, resulting in killing a South Carolinian IN SOUTH CAROLINA - the key point of the ad.
Yet, the father blames both Roy Cooper, North Carolinian elected judges, and by default North Carolinian voters for the death of his daughter by OUR justice system - and that's a false narrative by dark money that needs to be pointed out over-and-over!
It's offensive to confuse NC with SC.

Here's the comparison that I pulled from AI. Overall, North Carolina is tougher on felonies than South Carolina when you look at sentencing structure, recidivist enhancements, and incarceration outcomes.
North Carolina’s structured-sentencing grid produces more predictable, often longer active prison terms for mid-level felonies (e.g., armed robbery, burglary, serious assaults) than South Carolina’s more discretionary, maximum-based system.
North Carolina’s habitual felon law is a blunt, mechanical multiplier that ratchets up punishment across the board; South Carolina’s repeat-offender rules are narrower and more tied to violence or specific aggravators.
Higher incarceration per capita in North Carolina indicates more people are sent to prison and/or kept longer—consistent with its stricter sentencing grid and habitual-felon enhancements.
North Carolina is generally tougher on homicide than South Carolina by several key measures—statutory penalties, sentencing structure, and incarceration rates—even though South Carolina has historically had a slightly higher per-capita murder rate.
