Not Trump's America: Why Virginia is turning blue (Loudoun County edition)


How Voters Turned Virginia From Deep Red to Solid Blue.  (The New York Times, 11/9/2019)
The fields of Loudoun County are disappearing. In their place is row upon row of cookie-cutter townhouses, clipped lawns and cul-de-sacs — a suburban landscape for as far as the eye can see. Unlike three decades ago, the residents are often from other places, like India and Korea. And when they vote, it is often for Democrats.
