Haven't looked at the voting across VA by county, but might consider a referendum among the westerly counties to withdraw and form their own state. West Virginia did that way back when. Counties outside the DC span of influence to the east could retain the name "Virginia" and counties from the central and western regions could become "Central Virginia."

That would provide for the 51st state, with it own representatives going to Congress and having its own Presidential Electors every four years.
