Speed limit?

Why is there a paragraph dedicated to the speed limit on Rt. 211, that advises travelers to avoid Page county?

Nowhere on the table does it state "staunchly Democratic county". Out of seven elections from 1912-1936, five out of seven Democrat won and two Republicans won. Stating "staunchly Democratic county" is wp:synthesis.
...it became one of the first historically Democratic counties to break away... is not stated on the table. Please wp:cite a wp:reliable source; or, use wp:NAMEDREFS
No source for this: ...even as Virginia as a whole has swung back to the left... Cite an RS. Adakiko (talk) 04:19, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Saying staunchly Democratic county is not WP:Synthesis. When the county is deeply, overwhelmingly Democratic, that makes it staunchly Democratic.

And you're right. The table doesn't show past 1912. The numerous other sources for previous cycles do, though. And since you don't have any good faith in editing the page, I'll make sure to mark them in big bright blue citations for you.

"it became one of the first historically Democratic counties to break away... is not stated on the table." Yeah. Blue is not, in fact, red. As you can see in the big bright colors on the atlas and the numerous election map pages. When the vast majority of the state goes one way and this county goes another way, you don't need to cite that the sky is blue.

Virginia swinging to the left is extremely common knowledge and is not cited in nearly any other page that says it has. But then again, the rural south being staunchly democratic is also extremely common knowledge. 141.154.49.21 (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
