correct counties within the Virginia 7th

The district stretches from the west end of Richmond and its suburbs in Henrico and portions of Chesterfield Counties, through Montpelier

            and Caroline                   Orange

Orange is a County, within which Montpelier is its most historic estate. (Dhpretzer (talk) 14:17, 19 July 2011 (UTC))[reply]

2012 election results

2012 election results are missing from the article. Lugevas (talk) 19:43, 16 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2012 results are now in ... but they look odd.

2012 President Romney 57%–42%[41] Senator Allen 55%–45%[42]

The senator who won the 2012 Virginia senate seat was Tim Kane - who beat Allen. And I suspect Obama might have beaten Romney ...

Worried I have mis-understood the table, so have not tried to correct the article itself, but raised it here instead. If these are the votes cast in this district - not of the complete election - can I suggest the title of the table might show this. Maybe "Recent district votes cast in statewide elections"?

However, all the congressional districts seem to have this section with the title "Recent results in statewide elections", so maybe I am just not understanding a standard format. Holland jon (talk) 15:42, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
