Virginia Democrats Pass Pro-Dem 10-1 Map

Virginia Democrats ram through a new congressional map in the General Assembly, giving their party an edge in 10 of 11 districts while Republicans cry foul. The House passed HB29 59-35 on party lines, with Gov. Abigail Spanberger signing it Friday night, setting an Aug. 4 primary and May 25 filing deadline. This mid-decade redistricting push, tucked into a budget bill, awaits voter approval of a constitutional amendment on April 21 after a Tazewell County judge's restraining order.
