Virginia, a state that hadn't gone Democratic since 1964, was won by Governor George W. Bush with a margin of victory of 8.04%.[2] It would not vote Democratic again until 2008. The 2000 election was the last time Fairfax County, Virginia's most populous county, would go Republican. Fairfax’s swing toward the Democrats in recent years has contributed to the state turning Democratic.

Analysis
Virginia voted for Bush by 8.03%. Although it was a comfortable margin, this made Virginia Bush's narrowest win in a state that had been carried by Bob Dole in 1996 (narrowly ahead of Colorado, which Bush won by 8.36%). Bush did well in most of rural Virginia, making some inroads into then-traditionally Democratic southwest Virginia, and also carried the highly-populated suburban areas outside Washington, D.C. (Fairfax, Prince William, Loudoun) and Richmond (Henrico, Chesterfield), as well as the independent city of Virginia Beach, which has a largely suburban character. However, he underperformed in Fairfax County, the most populous jurisdiction in the state, winning it by a slightly smaller margin than Dole had won it by amid his 8.5% national defeat in 1996.
As of the 2020 presidential election, this was the last time Russell County, Southampton County, and the independent City of Norton voted Democratic for president, and the last time Fairfax County, Prince Edward County, Albemarle County, and the independent cities of Fairfax, Danville, and Williamsburg have voted Republican for president.[3]
