WINA reports that Delgate Earl Dickinson is quitting the state politics business. After the recent redistricting, his once-rural district now includes Henrico County, which isn’t an area that he’s interested in representing. (Richmond is in Henrico.) Dickinson feels it’s likely that other state Democrats will not re-run as a result of the redistricting.

Waldo,
Richmond is not in Henrico.

Well, it’s as about in Henrico as a city can be in Virginia. :)

Yep, the new districting specifically targets the homes of democratic representatives, gerrymandering such that they will oppose each other or live in strong republican areas.
