WASHINGTON — A Democratic group led by former Attorney General Eric Holder is pumping another $250,000 into Virginia governor's race for the final two weeks of what is widely seen as the most important election of the year.

The new casg brings total spending in the race to $1 million from the National Democratic Redistricting Committee, which was established earlier this year when former President Barack Obama tapped Holder to coordinate Democrats' redistricting efforts ahead of the 2020 Census.

Virginia, one of the most gerrymandered states in the country, is central to the party's plan to draw more favorable congressional districts and the governor's race is their first big test.

Holder’s not wealthy... how many of Hollywood’s pedophiles and rapists gave a big chunk of change?

Odd how liberal elite rapists and pedophiles NEVER get audited by the IRS... well, as long as they’re giving big time to democrats.

Gee, I thought this one was a slam-dunk for the Democrats.

Months and months of polling has told us that Northam is going to cruise to victory and Gillespie has no chance.

Why are they dumping all of this money into a race that isn’t even close.

Holder is well paid by the State of California for consulting services.

They are not saying gerrymandering is wrong, they just want to gerrymander it differently.

If the media’s own agendized poll have this as a close race then it must be Republican landslide. Especially with them pouring big money and big names into the campaign they must be running scared.

Expect to see voter fraud in all its gory.

I’d not be surprised to find my dead relatives that are buried in Falls Church voting in multiple districts.

I’m hoping that the racist Holder goes down with Obama, Clintoon and the rest of those far left weasels.

National Democratic Redistricting Committee

The National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) raised $10.8 million from January through July 2017. The NDRC's 527 group received roughly $2.5 million of the fundraising total while the remaining funds were received by the group's affiliated 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) entities. More than 10,000 individuals contributed to the NDRC in 2017, including high-dollar Democratic donors Fred Eychaner, Donald Sussman, Jon Stryker, and J.J. Abrams.[2][3]
