Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, February 07, 2026

After weeks of buildup and a missed self-imposed Jan. 30 deadline, Virginia Democrats on Thursday evening finally released their long-awaited revised congressional map, proposing an aggressive 10"1 configuration that would tilt 10 of the state's 11 U.S. House districts toward their party. The proposed congressional map leaves several of Virginia's largest districts visually intact while concentrating most of its changes in Northern and central Virginia. The new plan preserves the broad outlines of some existing districts but redistributes how the population is grouped across much of the state. The 9th District remains a single, expansive district in the state's far southwestern corner. The Eastern Shore"based 2nd District is also preserved, maintaining a clear coastal anchor on the map.

When Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) called the newly-proposed Virginia congressional map "a brazen abuse of power and an insult to democracy" because it would flip four seats to Democrats, Virginia state Senate Pro Tempore Louise Lucas (D) responded: "You all started it and we fucking finished it."
