You think that geographic size of red = a good way to determine political stance?
Oh no, watch out then I think with all this red in America we are about to turn into Nationalists we have swung so far right.
You are dumb. Fairfax has 1.1 million residents, of which 650,000 were voters based on this patch story
http://annandale.patch.com/articles/early-voter-turnout
So the fact that the gap is 87,000, or 13%, is significant. Anything even close to 10% means solid one way or the other you tool. You are just sad because that is the case, and has been for 2 decades.
And as far as the rest of the state, just like the country, they will continue to have gerrymandering help them win legislative spots but the state for big elections will continue to be controlled by population centers.
Suck it
