Throughout our area, though, there are little spots of blue-- like Montgomery County, the city of Roanoke, Martinsville, Danville, Lexington and Lynchburg.

Biden picked up anywhere from about 48 to 64% of the vote in those areas.

But, the surrounding counties are a different story; President Donald J. Trump picked up 73% of the vote in Bedford County; 71% in Campbell County; and almost 70% in Pittsylvania County.

This is all pretty similar to how things went in 2016-- with one exception: Lynchburg. Lynchburg is the only district in our immediate area that flipped blue-- with Biden taking 49.3% of the vote.
