I'm not a Virginia state resident, but I believe redistricting is an important step to preserve America's Democracy.

My district 10 is a prime example of gerrymandering.

Thank you for what you for your hard work - and please keep us faithful to the words on our flag by calling a special session of the legislature to keep VA's districts fair and secure our democracy!

The redistricting needs to be done in a non political manner. Census and practical geographic basis only.

If democracy is to prevail and justice is to be done, we must have nonpartisan redistricting.

I consider this a segment of voter suppression, an issue that concerns me for our democracy.

The 10 & 11 Districts are examples of where the boundaries make no sense except to keep 1 Party in office.

I am a voter. If gerrymandering is allowed to continue -- for both parties -- then what is the point of voting if my vote does not stand a change to count. Real polititions should not have a problem with getting rid of gerrymandering. Stacking the odds on to one party over another is not what Americans do. If you can not run for gov't without having the odds in your favor, you should NOT be in gov't. It is not fair to Virginias.

Gerrymandering is wrong and unfair. We need true representation!

The current method of drawing legislative districts according to party lines leads to a feeling of powerless in the voters leading to low voter turnout. Voters should be choosing their legislators as opposed to the legislators choosing the voters!!

This is an issue whose time has come. Both parties are equally guilty of gerrymandering. It is time for 'compact' voting districts.

Unfortunately even bills sent down by the Governor also get referred to committee!
