Reply to comment by Charlesinrichmond in My Polling Place had nothing but Leon Benjamin (R) signs and supporters out front. What gives? by ozonito23
We're part of that new redistricting that "totally isn't gerrymandered" and even at the ballot box there was a dude freaking out because he didn't recognize any of the names, thinking that we were still in District 7.

I generally consider myself reasonably well informed politically and I didn’t realize that I wasn’t in District 7 anymore until like three weeks ago.

It's a good idea to run your address through Ballotpedia and / or the Virginia Department of Elections' sample ballot lookup a few weeks to months prior to any election. It helps you to catch stuff like this and to properly inform yourself.

In many cases with smaller elections, independents have a decent chance, and can often be the best choice.

Yeah they didn't do a great job of making sure that people knew how the changes affected them. I guess that's the point though right?

Are you also part of the handle of the VA-01 soup spoon?

Yup. Seems like a completely legit shape for a voting district.
