Although there is a vocal minority of idiots as well. Mostly older racist types.

Thank god. I don't know how the rest of you do it. I would go mad. Especially if I was in a red area anywhere or even in a red state. I admire you for being able to get up in the morning to face the world. I think I would probably be in jail right now if I lived where you did.

being spoiled, I still haven't adjusted to a Blue-Purple area in a Blue-Purple state.

of blue-red-and purple area voters, that's all. And there's no intent to 'collect or use data' on my part, and no malice.

It’s been purple all my life so I chose blue district in a purple state.
But, we may be a full-on blue state now!

the safe side. *Wiki has it light blue due to the last 3 out of 4 elections. Nothing is guaranteed in the Old Dominion yet.



- Summary of results of the 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016 presidential elections:

States carried by the Republicans in all four elections (Dark Red)

States carried by the Republicans in three of the four elections (Light Red)

States carried by each party twice in the four elections (Purple)

States carried by the Democrats in three of the four elections (Light Blue)

States carried by the Democrats in all four elections (Dark Blue)
