*Laughs* yeah, except NOVA, VA Beach, and Richmond happen to not be, and what do they all have in common? -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:19 8
- not sure what you are arguing, but I'm pretty certain federal dictates that the pop sizes can't deviate too much from one to another within a state. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 23, 10:29
- the census says all districts are between 650k and 850k in size. The two largest are 10 and 11 in NoVA. - spamlet Jan 23, 10:25 1
  - And VA-10 is a R district. As is VA-1, the third largest district. -- nm - spamlet Jan 23, 10:26
- If true, I don't understand this at all. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 23, 10:21
- uh, I dont' know. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 10:21 3
  - All blue. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:22 2
    - I need proof that Richmond and VB are blue. -- nm - loosilu Jan 23, 10:25 1
      - Look at any voting tracking map. VA Beach is beyond blue. -- nm - MDH Jan 23, 10:41
