Lines are being drawn across the country. District lines, that is. But are they fair? @RepresentUs’s #gerrymandering threat index will let you know if your state is at risk. Spoiler alert: Most states are. #ToolOfTheWeek https://t.co/VDWTjD6sty

On this indigenous peoples’ day, just a reminder that indigenous people in the US continue to face extraordinary discrimination and disparities in health, education, and economic outcomes.

[Lex Gray @LexGrayWAVY]

Following former Gov. McAuliffe, @LGJustinFairfax calls for voter registration deadline to be extended. @GovernorVA has not yet weighed in.

"Let’s do this another way. Let's stop thinking our voice don’t matter and vote. Not just for the president...educate yourself and know who you’re voting for. And that’s how we're going to hit 'em."

After almost 2 hours of speeches, the original redistricting reform amendment PASSES the House 54-46

@frank54va @1VA2021 @VaHouse @MercuryVirginia Thank you, Frank. We believe in accurate reporting and have updated our account to avoid any confusion.

[National Black Nonpartisan Redistricting Org @thenbnro]

UPDATE: SJ18 #rejected in the @vahouse. 53-47. This is the problem with politics today. Virginia voters told leaders EXACTLY what they wanted, but the @@vahouse voted for something different. #nosubstitute #letpeoplevote #fairmaps

[National Black Nonpartisan Redistricting Org @thenbnro]

CLARIFICATION: The substitute to SJ18 failed. Thank you to all legislators in the @vahouse who listen to and respect the will of the people. We are ready for #fairmaps

[National Black Nonpartisan Redistricting Org @thenbnro]

The @vahouse is now voting on SJ18. This will finally put an end to partisan gerrymandering so people can pick their legislators instead of the other way around.

[RepresentUs @representus]

If politicians don't pass the anti-gerrymandering amendment now, we'll have to wait another 10 years. Check out the @1VA2021 campaign fighting for a redistricting process that is fair, transparent and accountable to Virginians—and get involved! #VAgov

[National Black Nonpartisan Redistricting Org @thenbnro]

Thank you @pwcdanica, but the people of Virginia have spoken. #nosubstitute #fairmaps #valeg #vapol

[UpVote Virginia @UpVoteVA]

We appreciate Delegate @pwcdanica's strong stance on redistricting reform. Consistent since before elected. We know she wouldn't vote for a gerrymander.

Unfortunately, the substitute does not change the 2021 redistricting process.

[UpVote Virginia @UpVoteVA]

SJ18 is up in the House.

Statement from NBNRO Executive Director on @VaHouse Committee on Privileges and Elections vote. The people have spoken. We are ready for #fairmaps #EndGerrymandering #VApol

[National Black Nonpartisan Redistricting Org @thenbnro]

BREAKING from @LoudounNow : Delegate @DavidReidVA votes AGAINST a nonpartisan redistricting commission, claiming it's flawed. He supported the bill last year. #fairmaps #vapol

[Deb Wake @WakeDeb]

@LWVVA supports tonight's decision by the House Privileges and Elections Committee to let the redistricting amendment go to the floor. Let the voters decide! @LWV @LWVMD @LWVAL @LWVNCarolina @LWVSC @LWVofMS @LWVC @LWVFairfax @LWVLoudoun @LWVArlingtonVA #FairMaps
