The Richmond area and Hampton rds aren’t as conservative as they used to be either. In the Richmond area more liberal voters have moved in the last 7 or 8 years. Chesterfield the biggest county, a suburb of Richmond was not long ago comfortable Gop, last presidential election was about 50-50. Henrico the other large county around Richmond, is easily a winner for the dems now. It’s been that way maybe 15 or 20 years there.
Losing Nova by a lot, and the Richmond area by a substantial amount. Plus Hampton roads, I think now is about 50-50. Makes it hard to win state wide. When you add in, I believe substantial voter fraud. It’s become tougher. Having said that, I’m hoping for a sweep !
