After weeks of buildup and a missed self-imposed Jan. 30 deadline, Virginia Democrats on Thursday evening finally released their long-awaited revised congressional map, proposing an aggressive 10–1 configuration that would tilt 10 of the state’s 11 U.S. House districts toward their party.

The proposed congressional map leaves several of Virginia’s largest districts visually intact while concentrating most of its changes in Northern and central Virginia.

The new plan preserves the broad outlines of some existing districts but redistributes how the population is grouped across much of the state.

Good Lord, it looks like my new district (if passed) will be called the 11th.....I'm about where the number 11 is on the map.

They took what looks like parts of the dem transplant dominated NOtVA counties of Prince William and Fairfax Counties and joined them with the real Virginia counties of Fauquier, Warren, Rappahannock, and Shenandoah.

If this passes Virginia and the country is in big trouble.

BTW....It's called 10-1 because that is what the dems expect to happen....10 dem seats to one gop seat in congress for Virginia.

Remember Trump and Texas, y'all started this redistricing going into the 2026 mid-terms for power in the House of Represenatives.

Don't know if VA will succeed in it's redistricting efforts, or not.

Remember though this is a reaction, not an initiative.

EDIT: I belive under Congress's authority (Article 1, Section 4, US Constitution) they could mandate how districts are drawn based on population density, governmental boundaries (city, county), and natual barriers by a non-political entity based on science and loading theory and not political gain. Then let the districts fall where they may.

He sure gets around.

We will get private concerns and citizens in Viriginia to move to red areas though in other states. Empires decline. Prog states are a petrification seen in many nations of the past. Old and slow. Red states still have a youthful exuberance to them.

Folks are fleeing blue states for a better life.

Hey, look. Conservatives hate gerrymandering today. They loved it yesterday, will hate it tomorrow, and will love it day after tomorrow.

They keep glossing over that fact. What's ironic, is the Republicans will likely lose more seats now than they would have before.

Since when do you care about constitutions? Trump violates the Constitution daily and you cheer it.

And this is exactly why you all will lose every single argument, on the merits. You have no legs to stand on to criticize anything that a future Democrat does.

That's why the vile dems are gonna try and change it with a referendum in a off off-year April election.

Back when it was put in it received 66% support (not to gerrymander) so it's not a sure thing for the vile dems.

Wait, the constitution of Va has no merit? Well not surprised to see you think that way, and now that the Dems are running VA they don’t seem to care either

Your projection in the first paragraph not with standing
