The "Fair" Voting Act replace the independent commisdion with a gerrymandered map in violation of the Virginia Constitution, that divides Fairfax county into 5 congressional districts around 15 miles apart.
In the new gerrymandered map voted on in April, the new state government:
District 11 goes through 14 counties in a giant V shape, from Arlington at the point out to rural virginia hours away past Harrisonburg and Charlottesville on one leg and around Goochland County on the other end, wrapping around Richmond.
District 8 is like a lizard doing a headstand with its tail in the air, starting with a sliver of Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax and Prince William counties, through 16 counties down to around Glouchester County near Williamsburg.

No.
We voted for "affordability" not shredding the Virginia constitution and gerrymandering that disenfranchises 45% of our state.
The Virginia gerrymandering is far more egregious than the Texas gerrymandering. Just look at the maps.

It’s done. You MAGA types have no one the blame but yourselves.
