Ole Virginny is no more.
Like most states the vast majority of Virginia’s 95 counties went red last week — typically by margins of 2-1 or more.
In several cases, by margins of 3-1.
For example, in Franklin County, outside of Roanoke, Republican gubernatorial candidate Corey Stewart cratered Democratic candidate Tim Kaine by 67 percent to 31.6 percent. In Washington County, not far from the state’s western border, it was even more of a blowout: 70.2 percent to 28.5 percent.
Scott County gave Mr. Stewart a staggering 77.5 percent. This was typical.
So why was Hillary Clinton’s 2016 running mate — Mr. Kaine — elected governor by 56.9 percent to 41.2 percent?
Because of Northern Virginia — which is just as blue as the rest of the state is red.
