Virginia Redistricting Map EXPLAINED

Virginia Democrats proposed a new congressional redistricting map that would have given their party 9 out of 11 House seats, in a state where Republicans had 47% of the voter share. The Virginia Supreme Court just struck it down. And the reason why matters.

I break down exactly what the new map would have done, why the court rejected it, and what it means for the broader national redistricting fight. The legal issue is actually clean: Virginia's constitution required the redistricting process to go through two separate legislative sessions before reaching voters. Democrats moved on it after early voting had already begun, with 1.3 million ballots already cast. The court ruled the election had already started. The map was out.

Both parties gerrymander, that is not debatable, and I say so clearly in this video. But when the party that constantly positions itself as the defender of democracy and fair representation tries to convert 47% of the vote into 91% of the seats, then gets Barack Obama to post on social media urging people to vote for it, it deserves to be called out. The court got this one right.
