Much to my surprise, Edd Houck chose not to extend his district eastward, and thus I’m still in the 4th State Senate District under the Senate Democrats’ map.
Yes, I know, Janet Howell has her name on it, but I have always presumed Edd could draw whatever district he wanted (being as his was the most Republican district represented by a Dem) and the caucus would simply graft it onto whatever they were doing.
Houck’s precision was surgical. He took out any precinct he lost in 2007; held on to his best precincts in Culpeper, and stretched out to a piece of Albemarle.
Yet he did not take a single Spotsylvanian from McDougle.
