Virginia Lawmakers Meet to Redraw Districts

“Virginia lawmakers are set to meet in Richmond for a special session so they can comply with a court order to redraw the state’s legislative map,” the AP reports.

“Members of the Virginia House and Senate convene at noon Thursday. The special session comes after a federal court in June found that 11 House of Delegates districts were unconstitutionally gerrymandered. The court ordered lawmakers to redraw the state map by Oct. 30.”
