With so many Democrats and Republicans paired up under the new legislative boundaries that were released last month, this is the perfect time to talk to the election analysts that eat, sleep, and breathe these changes. Joe Szymanski from Elections Daily talked to me, Marques Jones, and Nathan Kiker in-depth about various districts around Virginia.
