	Description:		Virginia may be getting new legislative lines in 2019 after a three-judge panel ruled last year that the current House of Delegates map is unconstitutional. While we're waiting for a fix -- which that same three-judge panel is going to choose -- the Virginia Politics podcast looked at what new electoral maps means for local voter registrars. Walt Latham is the president of the Voter Registrars Association of Virginia and the voter registrar for York County. He's been through a number of redistricting cases, both through the U.S. Census Bureau count that happens every decade and in instances like 2016, when the Congressional map had to be redrawn. On Episode 35, Latham talks about how legislative maps are adopted at the local level and thousands of people are notified that they've moved districts and are represented by someone new. Music: Puzzle Pieces by Lee Rosevere.
