There are several reasons why there has been a shift to the left. Virginia shares a border with Maryland, a strong liberal state and the natural flow of people and ideas was inevitable. Virginia also has a long history of seaport trade as well as institutions of higher education. Industry generally seeks stability, an educated population, central location and inclusive demographics. All these factors encourage a more liberal bent than conservative. Virginia has much to offer both individuals and industry and this transformation/evolution was inevitable. 2.1K views

I would call Virginia more of a swing state than an outright liberal state.
