Virginia is basically DC. The civil war was a long time ago. Where you
live was tobacco plantations during the civil war.
Ohio was on your list and that is about as north as you can get. It is
right across the lake from Canada.

I said executions were "mostly" a southern thing. That would allow the
inclusion of Ohio.

I don't buy your posit on Virginia. It is still a southern state.

Virginia is a southern state in the same way Maryland is a southern
state. It is south of the Mason Dixon line.
Politically it is DC, at least where most of the people live. The
reason it leans a bit more right than Montgomery County is because of
the military influence. I imagine DoD in Virginia's biggest employer.
(The pentagon, the Norfolk Yorktown Newport News defendoplex, Ft
Belvoir, AP Hill and a couple dozen other installations across the
state).

Virginia left the union during the civil war. Maryland did not. And
there is a lot more to Virginia than the military installations along
its eastern border areas. I don't see how Virginia is DC politically, as
you claim. DC might elect a crackhead mayor like Marion Barry, but it
wouldn't elect a crackpot governor or attorney general, as Virginia did
the last go-around. Oh, and Virginia still executes a lot of prisoners.
Maryland does not. Executions are mostly a southern thing.
