I’m surprised actually. Lynchburg is (or was) one of the most conservative areas in VA
“Lynchburg is (or was) one of the most conservative areas in VA”
From the 1960s through the 1980s, perhaps.
Lynchburg completed its leftward journey in 2020, voting for a Democrat for President for the first time since Harry Truman was running. It did bounce back a little last year and voted pretty solidly for Youngkin.
But it’s also voted for Tim Kaine and Mark Warner several times. At best it’s a marginal area now.
