Virginiafaces potential redistricting under new representation plan
Richmond reports that congressional redistricting may be required in Virginia if the House uses either 185 000 or 208 000 as the basis. Ten seats could be kept if 185 000 is used, while 208 000 would reduce Virginia to nine. Second and fourth districts likely shift counties to first and third, with Warwick Elizabeth City and York counties among possible moves. The ninth district also faces population redistribution challenges.
