“Under Virginia’s current congressional map, adopted after the 2020 census, two districts have a majority-minority voting age population. However, the Democrats’ proposed redistricting maps would dilute those populations…. Phillip Thompson, executive director of the National Black Nonpartisan Redistricting Organization…. acknowledged that the new maps do indeed weaken minority voting blocs.
“The proposal maintains one distinctly black-influence district while dispersing black voters among other districts,” he noted. The new maps “may solidify Democratic support but are not necessarily structured to enhance black political influence…. Most of the announced Democratic candidates for the newly established districts are white, and most of the institutional support, money and endorsements have been directed toward these candidates.” Tyler O’Neil
