I'm curious too. Front page of Reddit with 4000+ score two hours after posting, but all I see is "[removed]" in place of the post. Did the Reddit mods take the post down? If so, why?

Demographics mean he's likely in bad shape anyway. The 8th Congressional District in Virginia includes the close-in suburbs of DC, which historically vote very similar to DC itself.
