...over the next 10 years as VA becomes even deeper blue. As it becomes deeper blue, residents of NoVA decide that taxes are too high and use their money to move to North Carolina and Kentucky to vote for the same stupid ideas that ruined VA. The people left in VA are left with a powerful centralized government that continues to thirst for power and goes further left on its own.

I know this is the scenario people put forward, even here in GA with all the lefties moving to ATL. My only problem with it is I think it leaves out the apathy of current residents. Look at how low voter turnout is. If all the gun owners/conservatives turned out to vote, I don't think it would happen. I think a lot of people in Virginia, for instance, didn't worry about gun control & didn't go vote because "it could never happen here". Now, if all of the pro-gun people are voting & it is just that they are outnumbered by new people moving in, I sympathize with them & that's a different problem. But we know less than half of all registered voters show up at the polls, esp. during a non-presidential election. I'm willing to bet a lot of those people are conservative & those votes could make a difference in keeping a state from turning blue. Sorry for the rant.

When I met Stacy Abrams prior to her run for Governor, she recognized voter apathy as one of the biggest obstacles in elections (generally). She said that a lot of people just don't care if something isn't affecting them directly. Her vision was to energize and mobilize enough of her base to turn out and vote. This is pretty much in line with your observation.

While I generally agree with this idea, this past gubernatorial election showed us something different. I waited in line for hours to vote with my family. The line ran around the entire block in the neighborhood.
