Virginia redistricting try draws bipartisan fire

is Gov. ultrasound seeing the errors of his ways, still doesn't deserve a re-elect because he finally did the right thing after all the crap last year against the people.  regardless to whether republicans change their approach it is not real it is fear of another lost and like every other time they lie to get in then switch horse before the seat is warm.


A Republican-led redistricting plan in Virginia — pushed through the state Senate by a one-vote margin while a Democratic senator was in Washington attending the Inauguration — is drawing outrage from Democrats and criticism from GOP Gov. Bob McDonnell.
The plan to redraw state Senate districts passed Monday after limited debate on a 20-19 party-line vote. It would create a new majority-minority district in the state but would change almost all existing district lines and force two senators — Democrat Creigh Deeds and Republican Emmett W. Hanger Jr. — into a single district.
is this the "jam it down Americans throst they use to charge progressive's with? they do the dirt then try and sweep it on Pres.'s shoes, we've seen that one when you gonna get a new bag?
The state Senate is split evenly, 20 Democrats and 20 Republicans, but Democratic Sen. Henry Marsh had taken Monday off to attend President Barack Obama’s Inauguration and was not in Richmond to vote. Democrats have vowed to sue if the legislation, which would most likely shift a handful of currently Democratic districts to heavily favor Republicans, is signed into law.
Typically, the Virginia Legislature revises district lines each decade but has the ability to make small changes in the interim. But the new lines would be a much more drastic shift than usual — and have the potential to disrupt any bipartisan cooperation in the state Senate.
which is the real intent as all other directives involving election by the right wing. how long are we going to allow them to cheat us out of fair and honest elections? Rev. Al, "lot's of things were acceptable, until we stopped accepting them", this is our gov't proven in 2008-12
realize your power over them and their money no matter what they do this time we know it will be clandestine and deceitful prepare to be stuck again in the republican playback loop. where are the summer reruns when you need them?
