Virginia General Assembly Resumes Reapportionment Debate
The Virginia General Assembly resumes its marathon 1971 session Thursday to address reapportionment under federal scrutiny. Options include repairing racially flawed legislation, revising to single member districts, or doing nothing and letting the federal court draft a plan. The assembly seeks guidance from Justice Department lawyers arriving in Richmond and may await the U S Supreme Court decision on an Indiana case affecting Mitchell's objections to multimember districts.
