A federal court on Friday night released proposals for drawing new House of Delegates
districts in Virginia to repair 11 that were found to be racially gerrymandered. The
131-page report, prepared by California professor Bernard Grofman, contains several
proposals for drawing new districts that the court will review ahead of a hearing
scheduled for Jan. 10. … Grofman, a political scientist at the University of California
at Irvine, was appointed as “special master” to oversee the redistricting process
by a panel of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. [Subscription
