From what I've read up until now, even though he knew his campaign staff were collecting signatures for Brown, there seems to be some plausible deniability for him. It's obviously shady, but probably not illegal. It should be. His 'Regional Field Director in Charge of Recruitment" seems to be taking most of the heat. I think most, if not all, of the fraudulent signatures were collected by her. She's getting sued though. Maybe that'll bring out a little more info on if Taylor knew more about it. I didn't want to post two Virginian Pilot tweets in the same post, but here's a tweet from a little later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 ****ing gerrymandered Scott Taylor's district too so that Republicans could squeak out wins there by shoving all of the black voters in Hampton Roads into the 3rd. Makes no damn sense that my in-laws' well to do white neighborhood that is five minutes away from me votes in a different congressional district than I do.

No it's a district where Republicans in 2010 said, "Hey there are a lot of black people living in urban areas along the James River. Let's stick them all in one absurd district so the ones around them will go Republican." And then after a court finally struck down their outrageous district four years later, they decided that it made sense to keep the white neighborhoods of Norfolk and the end of the middle peninsula separate from all of their surrounding area so that Republicans could keep the 2nd district white and Republican.

At that time, portions of the old 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th districts were combined to create a new 3rd District. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia's_3rd_congressional_district#Historical_district_boundaries I live in one as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2014 a court struck down the district map as an unconstitutional because of it's extreme racial gerrymandering designed to keep the 2nd and 4th districts Republican. As soon as they had to redraw it, the 4th went Democrat. It's still gerrymandered, the third is one of the most partisan districts in the state despite the fact that Hampton Roads is one of the only purple places left in Virginia. The second district would easily go Democrat too AND the third would remain a majority minority district if it weren't for how gerrymandered the region still is.
