One Virginia 2021 provides info card

Brian Cannon of One Virginia 2021 sent a long and engaging email today about the successful effort to bring a more non partisan, objective approach to redistricting of voting districts consistent with the decennial census. The constitutional amendment must pass in exactly the same language in the 2020 General Assembly. Then the amendment can be placed on the 2020 ballot for a statewide referendum vote.

OneVirginia2021 has created this infocard to give a one stop look at what the Redistricting Commission would look like

August 30 – Special Session of the General Assembly:

Governor Northam has ordered a special session on August 30. The purpose for this session is to redraw certain districts created by the Republicans in 2011 to protect red districts by creating minority majority districts.  The court declared those districts unconstitutional and ordered redrawn districts by October 30, 2018 to be in effect in the 2019 elections.

The Election Results in 2019 are critical for Democrats:

All Virginia House of Delegates and Senate seats will be up for election in 2019. The Virginia legislators elected in 2019 will be the legislators who control Census redistricting in 2021. If the Republicans remain in the majority in the General Assembly, they will continue in their efforts to redraw districts that will dilute and restrict the votes of Democrats, progressives, independents, minorities, women, anyone they view as the enemies of their ultra-conservative agenda.
