Exclusive: Virginia Congressional Special Master Maps available at TBE

written by Paul A. Prados November 18, 2015

Setting aside (for the moment) the legal and technical analysis (and motives) of the maps created by the Special Master, we members of the public have not been graced with an easily accessible version of the maps for perusal.

The Special Master felt that none of the submissions were worthy of his approval so he drew two maps of his own.  These maps only affect the 3rd Congressional district and the surrounding, 1st, 2nd, 4th and 7th Congressional Districts.  Although the submissions of the Special Master are available on the Division of Legislative Services redistricting website, easily viewable maps (without specialized software) are not available…until now:

The Special Master created his own plan:

SM distinct plan

The Special Master also created a modified version of the NAACP plan:

NAACP modified

These plans can be viewed in an interactive fashion where you can scroll around the Commonwealth with County and City borders

BY CLICKING HERE.

The Virginia Congressional Republicans have moved to stay this process given the news on Friday that the Supreme Court will take up the case.  The three Judge panel has chosen not to hear the motion on an expedited basis and the parties will still be required to file briefs in support or opposition of the Special Master’s plans over the next two weeks.

UPDATE:  VPAP now has some great maps with demographics attached.

Paul A. Prados

Having fallen prey to the allure of DC politics in college, Paul escaped only to make the similar judgment error of going to law school. Trained at the side of a sitting state Senator, Paul is now the owner of a law firm in Reston, Virginia. In previous years Paul built a base of support on Twitter @ppradoslaw and founded and wrote for a blog on Virginia politics and legal procedure northernvirginialawyer.blogspot.com. As a pro-life libertarian, Paul finds himself at home within the broader conservative movement, and believes in a big tent Republican Party. In May 2016 Paul was elected as Chairman of the 11th Congressional District Republican Committee. Paul resides in western Fairfax County with his wife and children.
