“Virginia’s new bipartisan redistricting committee all but gave up its effort to draw new congressional maps after committee members could not find consensus on what constitutes a politically fair map,” the AP reports.
“The redistricting committee had already thrown in the towel on drawing maps for the General Assembly, but committee members had held out some hope that consensus could be found on lines for the state’s 11 congressional districts.”
