Virginia reapportionment battles unfold in special session
Virginia legislators gather for a special session to redraw congressional districts after a state court order and the one man one vote mandate. Senate and House plans split Fairfax County's 120,000 voters between the Eighth and Seventh districts, with political maneuvering amid fears of at large elections and GOP incumbents in danger. The governor urges a quick, legal settlement to avoid at large races, while intra party tensions and regional loyalties shape the debate.
