Eric Holder Takes Virginia
The Democratic plan to dominate state legislatures has its first electoral success.
Analysts are reading Tuesdays tea leaves, predicting what the off-year election results mean for the presidential race. But one victory is beyond dispute. Former Attorney General Eric Holder will be celebrating this week for a decade.
Democrats on Tuesday won total control of Virginias government, adding both chambers of the General Assembly to the governors mansion. They will redraw Virginias legislative district lines after next years census. The Old Dominion was already moving left, though the redistricting power likely cements Democratic dominance over Virginia for the next 10 years.
This was Mr. Holders plan. While most prominent Democrats spent the months following Donald Trumps election plotting future runs, Mr. Holder was launching the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, committed to domination of electoral mapmaking through the courts and legislatures. The NDRC spent its first years aggressively litigating legislative maps it didnt like, to great success. Virginias election was the first test of the electoral piece of Mr. Holders strategy, and it will now serve as the model by which Democrats attempt to gain redistricting power in 11 other key states next year.
