Now comes the time for redistricting and the Silly Party controls the House of Delegates and the Governorship, Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor's office.
The only thing standing between them and complete authority to gerrymander the entire state and increase their seats is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Our illustrious AG Cooch says we have outgrown our institutional racism and should be exempted from the Voting Rights Act. Hmmmmm. Outgrown our racism have we?
Well Virginia is still only one of two racist states in the Union that still have the Jim Crow statute disenfranchising felons, who are overwhelmingly Black. Sorry Cooch, we need a lot more growing out of our institutional racism before we are eligible to be exempted from the Voting Rights Act.
