to republicans.

just look at nc.

voter suppression on steroids, cracking and packing black voters into as few districts as possible (gerrymandering), anti-civil rights legislation, rolling back environmental protections in black areas (particularly rural), etc.

black votes in va wont matter for *at least* an entire decade after that.
