In response to Texas redistricting and Trump bullying, Virginia Republicans, who will shortly have control of both state houses and the Governor's mansion, have rolled out a redistricting plan of their own, which will take the current 6D — 5R delegation and make it a 10D — 1R.
I'm pretty sure that the 6 Supreme Court corrupt conservative justices will find a way to invalidate this, even though they blessed the Texas redistricting, because ……… The Aristocrats.
Virginia Democrats threatened to go nuclear on the GOP in their retaliatory mid-decade redistricting, potentially deleting as many as four Republican seats to create a map where Democrats win 10 out of 11 districts.
Don Scott, speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates, was asked about redistricting at a meeting of the Virginia Property Owners Alliance. In response, he replied, "10-1 is not out of the realm to be able to draw the maps in a succinct and community-based way," according to Punchbowl News' Ally Mutnick.
To quote Sean Connery reading David Mamet's screenplay, "They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way!"
