● INFORMATIONAL
tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

Virginia Democrats proposed congressional maps that could change district boundaries and affect Thomas Perriello’s campaign. The proposed changes could bring him into a Democratic primary contest with Beth Macy, while the plan remains subject to further approval.

Left-leaning outlets center on the potential Democratic primary contest; center outlets emphasize broader disruption to candidates’ races and note that the map’s future depends on the state Supreme Court and a voter referendum.
