This plan preserves Fairfax County's Woodburn precinct (#717) - but it does so in a way that splits the Amberleigh apartment complex, on Gallows Road north of Inova Fairfax Hospital, into two congressional districts.

The proposed 2nd district makes no sense. Highland County has little in common with the counties of southside. There is no transportation corridor connecting these counties, their economies are very different. Highland and adjacent counties along the West Virginia line belong in a Shenadoah Valley district.

Greater Falls Church should be kept in the same district. At the very least, Fairfax County's Westhampton, Marshall, Shreve, and Timber Lane precincts should be kept with the city of Falls Church.

Honestly, this is probably the best proposed Congressional Map I have seen. The districts are fairly compact, avoid unnecessarily dividing up Cities/Counties and where divides occur, uses a rational basis for making the division (such as the James River dividing proposed CD 3 & CD 5). Folks might quibble about the division between Roanoke and Salem or down near Norfolk, but on the whole this map looks very good and is consistent with the proper role of redistricting.

I believe the new ninth district is drawn much better than the current eleventh district that looks very gerrymandered. I also believe most districts are drawn in a more compact and congruent way than the current districts which results in a fairer map.

I concur with Joshua Mayes. This is what redistricting SHOULD be like. Simplification. A tweak here and there and this COULD be a example for other states as well. I also believe the very small deviation allowed hampers the application of sensible boundaries. +-5-8% would allow greater flexibility in making boundaries without unduly affecting representation.

Franklin is more Southside than Southwest Virginia.

For #2, #5, #4 and #6, this fails the ‘compact’ test by sausage-districts that violate geographic, economic, and cultural ‘communities of interest. Most Virginians live in urban settlements, so a majority of Virginia’s 3-kinds of legislature districts should hold urban populations. Do not slice dense urban localities and their adjacent settlements of urban and suburban residents into fragments. :::> Do NOT draw districts of equal square-mile-area for equal commute times, the law defines NO ‘c-o-i’ as “equal commute times”. SO, this ‘sausage #7 district’ with Stafford in NoVa SMA should not be drawn with King & Queen in Richmond SMA and not with Poquoson in the Newport News SMA, and so on.

Of all the Congressional maps I've seen posted to the Redistricting website, this one by far is my preferred one. It eliminates the 5+ hour drives to cross some of the current congressional districts, maintains clean lines at the county borders where possible, and still fulfills the redistricting guidelines. Well done!
