11.19.21: SCOVA has unanimously selected Bernard Grofman and Sean Trende as Special Masters who will work together to prepare district maps for the House of Delegates, the State Senate, and the Virginia Congressional districts.
What exactly is a Special Master? In redistricting cases, a map-drawing expert is often selected to assist and advise the Court on the redistricting remedy. Virginia law requires the Court to select two Special Masters - one nominated by each party - but traditionally, these individuals are academics and operated in a nonpartisan manner.
