After passing the Virginia State Senate with a 20-19 vote, the U.S. Congressional redistricting bill is headed to Governor Bob McDonnell's desk for his signature. It will then automatically go to the Justice Department to be sure it fits criteria for the Federal Voting Rights Act.
The lines have been redrawn for the Sixth Congressional District to the following:
