Democrats have a demographics problem that makes state-level solutions very hard.  Most states maintain a bias toward the suburban and rural, which is not the Dems strong suit.  Every election cycle, Virginia tallies more votes for Democrats vying for Federal House and state Legislature seats, but the GOP still maintains dominance over both.  Based on nationwide results, this is not uncommon.

Is this because of gerrymandering?

How can gerrymandering be eliminated in VA?
