8. Elaine Luria was yet another Dem shamefully gerrymandered out of her seat

Up to now, the VA-2 district included just enough of (majority-Black) Hampton and (student/academia-rich) Williamsburg to make it competitive.

But the new district in centers on Virginia Beach - much of which is filled with white-flight suburbs that sprung up from White people feeling Hampton and Newport News in the '70s and '80s.

While it does have a sizable liberal community (mainly along the beach), trust me - a lot of them are unreconstructed Jim Crowites and Bible-thumping Fallwellistas.
