Redistricting without politics needs to be done ASAP and again after the 2020 census. Regardless of what party is in power. Use computer modeling and let the chips fall...

Correcting gerrymandering is vital to our democracy. Everyone's vote needs to count. If a person lives in a district that has been gerrymandered then their vote doesn't count. How then, can we say that we live in a democracy? It is no longer government for the people and by the people. Let's fix this!

Gerrymandering violates the principle of free and fair elections.

Gerrymandering is killing our democracy. I want to pick my representative, not the other way around.

To be a democracy we can't just call ourselves a democracy, we have to actually BE a democracy.

Until we deal with gerrymandering and overturn Citizens United, the people don't stand a chance. We are tired of the political BS which is just more of the same.

Every vote should count equally!

Our elections should reflect the voice of the people not dictated by gerrymandering politicians.

Virginia would be a bluer state with redistricting reform.

Gerrymandering kills democracy. It's ridiculous that the Republican committee did not even allow a vote on this.

The term to gerrymander is over two hundred years old. Since then we have; added 37 states, ended slavery slavery, added women to the voting rolls, won two world wars. Can't we put an end to this gerrymandering nonsense?

Let the full House have a chance to vote for redistricting reform.

Please change the districts to meet the needs of the citizens rather than political parties and incumbents!!!

This is so important! Government works when citizens pick their government officials, not when government officials pick their citizens. This is an important step to getting a balanced government that can work together and compromise!
