Last Night I had a dream 😴 

Good Morning

 

Walt Disney was my other Dad

 

Us and Them

 Us and Them 

The World is Round 

So they Say

I’ve seen the Photos 

By the Way.

I believe the Images

From Outer Space.

I met a Moonwalker 

Such a Fine Face.

I saw a Divide 

Between You and I.

We have a few Differences 

That’s no Lie.

When Distance grows wider

In the Blink of an Eye,

Embrace our Differences 

Before We Die.

The World is Round,

Hills and Valleys abound.

Are You the Hill or the Valley?

Are You Up or Down?

No matter if you’re Us or you’re Them,

The Two of Us Make a Planet

We’re Complete

We are Round 🌎 

Amen

Gerrymandering

 More public X’s about Virginia’s Gerrymandering vote.

It all came crashing down,

For now at least

The results of Tuesday’s election shows us what we already know: Virginia's current map correctly reflects the politics of our Commonwealth, not a gerrymander that reduces the voices of rural Virginians to a meager 9%.

However, our liberal neighbors from Northern Virginia were…

There’s got to be some morning after,Gerrymandering,

 

Remember folks, SCOVA not SCOTUS

The Supreme Court of Virginia will decide these cases, not the Supreme Court of the United States. https://t.co/1GbmEJufrZ

You're welcome, Mary. Glad the readability breakdown cut through the heat—rushed timelines and complex wording do create real legal vulnerabilities, as Cuccinelli flagged. That "No!" charge sums up the passion well.

**Those % reflect the net Yes margin share after No-voting counties offset each other.** Fairfax (VA's largest county, ~1.15M people, ~70% Yes) naturally dominates.

Nothing anomalous per official tallies: Yes passed 51.45%–48.55% statewide (~89k margin) per AP, VA Dept of… pic.twitter.com/xeffc6kNbr

If gerrymandering vote is certified Louisa, Virginia will no longer have John McGuire as a representative? Which area will define our new district?

(A Little goof below is mine. Too late to fix.)

Grok answer: district?

Yes, assuming the "gerrymandering vote" (the April 21, 2026, constitutional amendment referendum) is certified as approved—which early results and projections indicate it was, narrowly passing statewide—Virginia will implement a new congressional district map for the 2026 elections (and through 2030, pending any successful legal challenges). This map, enacted via House Bill 29 and enabled by the amendment, was drawn by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly and is widely described as a partisan gerrymander favoring Democrats (projected to create a 10-1 or similar Democratic advantage in Virginia's 11 U.S. House seats, up from the prior 6-5 split). Impact on John McGuire and Louisa County

• John McGuire (Republican, currently representing Virginia's 5th Congressional District) would no longer represent Louisa County under the new map. His current district (VA-5) is redrawn in a way that significantly shifts its partisan balance toward Democrats (from roughly R+7.7 to D+16.4 based on recent election data), making it much less favorable for him or other Republicans. The new VA-5 includes areas like Campbell County (western edge) and curves northward to incorporate some Richmond suburbs and parts of the city itself. McGuire's home area (Goochland County) is also moved.
• Louisa County is explicitly placed in the new 7th Congressional District (VA-7). The map description for the 7th District includes all of Louisa County (along with Culpeper, Goochland, Greene, Madison, Orange, Powhatan counties, the City of Falls Church, and portions of several other counties like Arlington, Augusta, Buckingham, Cumberland, Fairfax, Fauquier, Prince William, and Rockingham).

This new VA-7 is one of the districts designed to be strongly Democratic-leaning under the map, often described as having an unusual shape (sometimes called the "lobster" district due to its extensions). It pulls in Democratic-leaning voters from northern/central areas while connecting them in ways that dilute Republican strongholds. Louisa voters (who overwhelmingly opposed the referendum, with roughly 66% voting "no") will thus see their representation change from the current VA-5 (McGuire) to this new VA-7. Additional Context

• The new map moves other central Virginia areas as well (e.g., Charlottesville and Albemarle County into the 6th District, paired with places like Roanoke and the Shenandoah Valley).
• Legal challenges to the map or the process were ongoing or expected even after the vote, so boundaries could still face court review before the 2026 midterms.
• For the most precise boundaries, the official block equivalency files/shapefiles from the legislation control the exact lines (available via the Virginia General Assembly or Department of Elections).

If you need more details on candidates likely to run in the new VA-7, voting precinct impacts inside Louisa, or updates on certification/legal status, let me know. The situation is fluid as of April 23, 2026, with certification
