Correct, Northern Virginia and the Commonwealth’s major cities are now mostly dominated by transplanted liberal North Easterners who moved there after wrecking their own states. The Commonwealth’s rural areas are almost 100% Conservative though.
Same as with my state. Trouble for us is, most of the population doesn't live in rural areas. In a winner-take-all format, capturing vast tracts of sparsely populated ground isn't going to win you the state's electoral votes.
