Virginia's already gerrymandered legislative district map."

The senate map is "already gerrymandered", but in a way that was skewed heavily for the democrats, yielding them 50% of the seats in the last election, with only 40% of the vote, while sticking republicans in districts (like mine) where the winner gets 72% of the vote.

This was really minor payback, creating another minority distric, which means probably another black representative in the senate, but also likely giving the republicans a 1-seat majority in the next election.

That will help especially if we manage to lose the lt Governor race in the 2013 election.

Why do you think we’d lose the Lt Gov race?
