Virginia, Democrats and state congressional map
Digest more
Virginia Democrats announced on Thursday that they agreed on a proposed congressional map that would include 10 Democrat-leaning seats and just one Republican-leaning seat. Virginia lawmakers previously debated a similar Democrat-favoring map that had a 9-2 split.
Virginia Democrats want to eliminate four Republican-held congressional seats. On a percentage basis, that’s higher than any other state that’s engaged in a mid-decade redistricting.
