Redistricting
Redistricting takes place every 10 years after completion of the United States Census. (Virginia law ties the drawing of congressional and state legislative lines to the Census). District lines were last drawn in 2011. Virginia's congressional and state legislative lines are drawn by the state legislature, as a regular statute, subject to gubernatorial veto. If the General Assembly cannot agree on a plan, a federal or state court may draw the lines.[2]
"The Epic Virginia Redistricting of 2011" is a saga reminiscent of those never-ending novels we read in high school. Think "An American Tragedy," "War and Peace" and "Great Expectations." You want to reach the end, but each page turned seemingly leaves you in quicksand. It's a type of literary purgatory; Kafka would be proud.[3]
