The Virginia General Assembly reconvenes on April 4th to consider redistricting as required every 10 years following the census. Congressional boundaries have already “received bipartisan sign-off from its eight Republicans and three Democrats“, and now it’s up to the Virginia House and Senate to finalize their plans followed by Department of Justice approval.
