bush won virginia twice. in recent elections, virginia has alternated between democrat and republican governors and democrat and republican senators. it is a classic swing state. power shifts back and forth between the parties, but only in statewide elections. in virginia's 11 congressional districts, power rarely shifts. although a majority of virginia voters voted for president obama twice, only three of virginia's 11 members of congress are democrats. one of those democrats is the only african-american member of the virginia congressional delegation. bobby scott, who first won his seat 22 years ago. congressman scott has never won with less than 69% of the vote. and that is not necessarily a good thing for democrats. in 2012, after the republican-controlled legislature passed a redistricting bill that was signed by then-republican governor, bob mcdonnell, now convicted felon, bob mcdonnell, congressman scott won with 80% of the vote in his newly redrawn district. three voters in that district, virginia's t
