Stop the Gerrymander, Virginia!
13th April 2026
If the election of Abigail Spanberger as governor of Virginia has proven anything, it’s that there are no more “moderate” Democrats. Since taking office in January, Spanberger has been ramming through a left-wing agenda that might be more suitable to Berkeley, California, than to the Old Dominion, and the very worst of it is the proposal to redistrict Virginia’s congressional map by an outrageous partisan gerrymander. Among the many atrocities of this is the proposed 7th District, which would stretch all the way from the Potomac River in Arlington County to Harrisonburg in the Shenandoah Valley and down to Powhatan County, below the James River 30 miles west of Richmond.
Since most of the Republican areas of the state appear to be in the west, perhaps they might take a hint from the Greater Idaho Movement and attempt to leave Virginia for West Virginia. After all, there is precedent.
