Gerrymandering is a ‘political fix’

Gerrymandering in Virginia has taken away any value my congressional vote may have had otherwise. This is because election districts have been redrawn by political design by one party or the other to create an overwhelming number of voters of that same party.
This is not Democracy. It is a political fix.
Can we please pressure our politicians, whether Republican or Democrat, to get rid of this undemocratic scam — gerrymandering — whose sole purpose is to manipulate the vote?
I support ONEVIRGINIA2021: Virginians for Fair Redistricting. We all should. It is a nonpartisan organization. Their sole purpose is to get rid of gerrymandering.
