"On Monday, Virginia’s state Senate passed a bill that was already approved by the House of Delegates officially banning the death penalty in the southern state. The bill now waits to be signed into law by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, which is expected."

The life of babies is not included in the legislation and they can still be exterminated at will.

There is nothing southern about Virginia. They need to stop calling themselves that.

Nothing blue about it either. Trump won that state bigly and it was one of the first one flipped through fraud.

Outside of metro DC, Virginia is as southern as it gets.

Virginia is no longer a Southern state. It has long gone the way of Maryland.

They're not going to listen to you. I lived in Va. for a good while. Their southern pride dwarfs that of the gulf coast states.

How can they do that? Aren't post-birth abortions a death penalty?

Where are liberals now claiming life beings? At felony conviction?

So are you saying McCain, Romney, and '16 Trump won it too?

Virginia has been a blue state for more than a decade, and its not coming back. DC Metro dictates that.

Not to answer for him, but it switched when the VA governor allowed 50,000 felons to vote when Obama was running.

Except for the downstate areas that have a relevant population I guess?

Here's the 2020 House election results for VA:

Is this were we pretend that the explosion of the commuter population in Fairfax, Loudon, and the other counties ringing D.C. aren't the largest factor in this transition?

Don't care about the two traitors prior to 16, but if you look a the late vote dumps and trends in VA you will see they reflect exactly what happened in the other stolen swing states.

Trump red pilled alot of areas in 2020 including VA.

It's where we admit that allowing felons to vote has an impact on state results.

Felons don't often commute, unless your talking about Biden's children.

They will make them comfortable, before snuffing out their life, so there's that.

Of course they did. It’s just that the influx of people in the DC metro area since 2000 greatly dwarfs the number of felons that gained the ability to vote.

Nothing about the 2020 POTUS or Congressional results in VA corroborates this statement. Red counties got redder, sure.

But overall, Trump performed the exact same in VA as he did in 2016 on a percentage basis.
