I found this on another forum

If you total all the votes for all of the 100 VA State House and 40 Senate races, the GOP had about 31,000 more House votes, and about 35,000 more Senate votes (out of 2.3m votes cast). However, with the Democrats recent redistricting (gerrymandering), "somehow" this translated into majorities for the Dems in both. Interesting, no?
(VA Senate: 2018, GOP 21-19... 2019, DEM +2, to 21-19)
(VA House: 2018: GOP 51-49... 2019: DEM +6, to 55-45)
The VA House was DEM-led for all of the 20th Century, including leads of 97-3 twice... averaging 87.5-to-12.5 overall... and an average of 93.3-to-6.7 for 1900-1964). The VA House of Delegates went the GOP for the first time in 2000, and peaked at 67-32 in 2014-2016.
