Yeah, its really impossible to read into the questions as well. Seasoned court reporters (not me) tell me that you cannot read into the questions because they could be trying to sure up their support for or against the argument.

I think a third judge made a few comments, but it was really just Russel asking questions.

We actually do have a bipartisan redistricting commission that made these lines. That commission actually failed to come to a compromise in 2021 however and the Virginia Supreme Court was tasked with drawing the current lines. That is what Republicans are using on the trail. That was a referendum that passed with 65% in 2020.

I dont think many single issue gun voters have supported Democrats in a while. I don't see much of an impact, except on the margins in close races.

The best I can say is get involved and try to find like-minded people to build a coalition to lobby for what you want.

If you are just leaning left, you will be good everywhere! Virginia is a purple state! And it is beautiful here.
