Charlottesville Voting Patterns

[Tintrlvr]

My impression is that Lake Monticello is an old getaway for the wealthy of Richmond that pre-dates Charlottesville becoming liberal and expanding its influence, thus providing a bulwark against the (south-)eastward expansion of liberal influence from Charlottesville.

Lake Monticello is a gated community, too, and there is definitely a certain type of voter who lives in or especially actively seeks out gated communities.
