I think Richmond and the burbs around it are more like NOVA than

they are like SW VA. Ditto for Tidewater. And the statement keeping with the "character of those states"? C'mon man. Maybe VA's character has changed from what it was in the mid 20th century since NOVA really boomed in the latter half. It's urban vs rural you're talking about. But saying that losing NOVA would provide a more representative state gov't for Virginia ignores the fact that those NOVA residents + Richmond + Tidewater outnumber all the rest of the people in the state combined. So maybe the government is completely representative of its residents and where most of their political sentiments lie. I'd also be willing to bet that SW VA takes in more Virginia tax dollars than it gives back. So losing NOVA would be a net loss for that region(SWVA). ** Edited by ElbertoHokie at 8/2/2022, 10:52:58 AM
