This is vital. It is way past time for an independent, non-partisan commission to create fair districts. I want to see a recorded vote on gerrymandering. Mark Cole has consistently tabled redistricting proposals as Chairman of The House Privileges and Election Committee. It comes down to a choice between Democracy in Virginia or Job Security for Cole and partners. It is in your power to call a special session and encourage transparency. Thank you for all you do for our State.

Please do call the special session. We voters need to elect our representatives, not have our representatives choose their voters. Thank you for all you've accomplished for Virginia

Gov. McCauliffe: It was a pleasure to meet you and A.G. Herring at the Women's March on Washington (red power wheelchair, elevated next to the ADA area). Please help us do something about gerrymandering--my polling place and district have changed several times, even though I have remained in the same zip code. My district is a WEIRD shape.

Virginians deserve to have a representative democracy at the state level and current gerrymandered districts inhibit democracy.

Governor McAuliffe, Please call a special session of the legislature and submit redistricting legislation to our representatives in Richmond. The fact that these bipartisan efforts have been killed in committee before making it to the floor for a vote has given representatives a shield from the scrutiny of their constituents. We want to know where our elected representatives REALLY stand on the issue of gerrymandering in our state, and we want REFORM. Thank you, Melissa Ni

We need compact, COMPETITIVE districts to bring our legislators back to the middle to work together.

Redistricting reform is key, so that a majority of voters corresponds to a majority of politicians.

No matter your political affiliation (or if you have none at all), I belueve that all voters ... all citizens who understand the issue ... would agree that this is Long overdue.
