SPOTSYLVANIA, Virginia (Reuters) - The last time U.S. congressional elections were held in this central Virginia district, Meg Sneed voted for the Republican incumbent, Representative Dave Brat. Her friend, Cheryll Lesser, did not vote at all.

Last week, the two women sat in the second row at a campaign event in a martial arts' studio listening to the Democrat running against Brat, Abigail Spanberger. They nodded in agreement with much of what she had to say.
