Gov. Ralph Northam has set Aug. 30 for lawmakers to begin hashing out a federal court order to redraw 11 House of Delegates districts -- six of them in Hampton Roads.
On the Peninsula, the court order would mean new lines for the 95th District, represented by Del. Marcia "Cia" Price, D-Newport News, and the 92nd District, represented by Del. Jeion Ward, D-Hampton.
In South Hampton Roads, the order calls for the redrawing of the 77th, 80th, 89th and 90th districts, represented respectively by Del. Cliff Hayes, D-Chesapeake; Del. Matthew James, D-Portsmouth; Del. Jay Jones, D-Norfolk; and Del. Joe Lindsey, D-Norfolk.
Redrawing district lines could move voters into new districts and change where they vote. People also could be placed under a new representative in the House of Delegates.
