From Times Dispatch article:
A three-judge panel in Richmond on Thursday imposed a new Virginia congressional map that could give blacks a chance to elect candidates of their choice in two districts, not just one.
Unless the U.S. Supreme Court halts implementation of the new map, the reconfiguration will lower the black voting age population in the 3rd District, represented by Rep. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott, a Democrat, from 56.3 percent to 45.3 percent.
It looks like this will most likely move Oregon Hill from the 3rd District into the 4th District, represented by Rep. J. Randy Forbes, a Republican.
Crap! I love Bobby Scott!
First we get Watkins and now this.
This will give us an opportunity to vote in someone like Don McEachin. He would replace Randy Forbes. Bobby Scott will be just fine in his new 3d district.
