[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I plan on voting no. Subdividing NOVA into however many parts and attaching each to a different rural constituency is the opposite of what I consider to be "fair". [/quote]

The line dissects my neighborhood street - this is a small place, and we and a few neighbors would be in a different district from my other neighbors.  I don’t care that they did this TX.. it will have unintended consequences there, too.   I don’t live there, I live here. And it’s a “no” from me.  However, they act as if it’s already passed![/quote]

You're probably a Republican and so of course you're against it. Democrats understand the stakes and will vote for it, and that's enough to get it to pass.[/quote]

You’re wrong, never voted R.  But the insults and dismissive comments (not by you) seriously give me pause.  To the “who cares” and worse commenters; we neighbors often meet with our delegate over very real local issues and concerns.  So now we shall invite TWO different ones who don’t live anywhere within a 100 mile radius?  They won’t come.  We are neighbors bound by other firm lines together already, paying into the same pot of money for tangible stuff we do and need. And I’m not talking about a major thoroughfare dissected, this is a small neighborhood street. If it was just us, oh well, but I imagine there are many others who also have their communities dissected by this haphazard gerrymandering, clearly carried out thoughtlessly, and it sickens me that the new delegates already divvied up which swaths they will take over.  They’ve been unopposed for too long apparently, taking their wins for granted. [/quote]
