Virginia Legislature Gives Up Attempt to Redraw New U.S. House District Boundaries

According to this story, on August 17 the Virginia Senate adjourned the special session that had been called to redraw U.S. House districts. Therefore, a federal court will draw the new lines. It seems somewhat likely that in 2016, there will be U.S. House district boundaries in Virginia, Florida, Alabama, and perhaps Texas. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.

  1. AUTOMATIC minority rule by using single member gerrymander districts —

    1/2 or less votes x 1/2 districts = 1/4 or less control.

    Much worse primary math.

    Too many MORONS in gerrymander cases to count since 1964.

    P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.

  2. The challenge in Alabama is to the legislative district boundaries.

    You also left a word out. In 2016, there will be U.S. House district boundaries in all but Vermont, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Alaska.
