ICYMI: Make most of do-over for the 3rd
My latest op-ed, title above, appeared in The Virginian-Pilot last Thursday. The topic, of course, was the ruling last week (pdf) that Virginia's 3rd Congressional district has to be redrawn.

ICYMI: Redistricting reform should start now
My latest op-ed, title above, appeared in The Virginian-Pilot last Thursday. In it, I looked at the results of last Tuesday's special elections and how the outcomes were pre-ordained based on the partisan composition of the districts. Although it may have appeared that I was picking on Marcus Calabrese in my earlier post, I really … Continue reading ICYMI: Redistricting reform should start now
