Isn't that the opposite of what happened? I thought Democrats wanted it, right up until they took control. Now suddenly they're against it.
There is a split in Democrats on Yes and No. ie D Tim Kaine-US VA Senator, D Former US Attorney General Eric Holder, ACLU, AARP, LWV, R-former Gov Allen. ...NO individuals list is basically VA elected state people currently in office, party committees, NAACP. Yes is not a vicious plot by Republicans to have snake and octopus and paint splatter districts.
Long term YES is better than what now exists. https://ballotpedia.org/Virginia_Question_1,_Redistricting_Commission_Amendment_(2020)

Two GOP members of a 16 member commission could (and definitely would) use the process to ensure republicans can continue setting district boundaries. Letting the House and Governor set them is not great either but it’s more representative of the people of Northern Virginia, who will vote D no matter what.
