A5 State Senate: gerrymander.princeton.edu/redistricting-…
We give the A7 House of Delegates Map a B. It gets a B on Partisan Fairness, a C in Competitiveness, and a B in Geographic Features. It, like several of the maps proposed yesterday and earlier in this process, has a noticeable line of BVAP population above 50%. 
We give the A5 Senate Map an F. It gets an F in Partisan Fairness - this map is a Republican gerrymander. It gets a C in Competitiveness and a C in Geographic Features. It also has the noticeable 50%+ BVAP population threshold.

We're proud to endorse @GlennYoungkin for calling out Democrats’ pro-abortion extremism and committing to be a champion for unborn children and their mothers as well as taxpayers in the Commonwealth #VApol #VAgov
We're proud to endorse @WinsomeSears for #VALG. She's running against the most radically pro-abortion ticket in VA history. Winsome will be a strong and compassionate #prolife voice for the great state of Virginia! #VApol
It's time for change in VA and we're proud to endorse @JasonMiyaresVA. #proabortion AG Herring supports radical late-term abortion & infanticide, paid for by VA taxpayers. We need #prolife leadership and are proud to support Jason! #VApol

Daily, I ask myself multiple times, "is this best for kids? If not, how can we make it better?"

Virginia is where the post-Trump bounceback began last year, and we’re determined to elect more progressive leaders this year—including an all-women slate of congressional candidates. #VApol (1/7)
