I see the rodent whiners on the website bitching about how unfair it is. Gerrymandering is the premier Democrat weapon (and was their creation when early Massachusetts rodents tried to screw a Federalist majority out of seats).
It looks like Creigh Deeds is getting screwed by this. Poor guy can’t catch a break. (Heh Heh) Gets beaten for AG, beaten for Guv, and finally may lose his senate seat.
The Senate Democrats did very well with their gerrymandering. In 2011, they managed to hold 20 out of 40 seats, while only getting slightly more than 40% of the total vote.
This is why in a state with 40 senate districts, I would have to drive 2 hours to go from one end of MY senate district to the other, and why my one county has something like 4 senate districts.
