Southwest Virginia Delegate Districts May Be Carved Up
Virginia House Speaker A L Philpott said a constitutional redistricting plan will be ready by December 1, with the Southwest Virginia districts and the Eastern Shore’s linkage to the mainland likely reshaped to meet court guidelines. The 1980 census shows large population variances, prompting likely breakup of the Eastern Shore and Southwest districts to fit a ten percent variance cap. If no plan is approved, the court may draw one or set 1-year terms for the 1982 elections.
