Eric Holder Says Gerrymandering in Virginia Is Just Making the System ‘as Fair as it Possibly Can Be’

EXCERPT:

HOLDER: "The Democrats can certainly win if it's a fair fight. And the question I have — "

BRENNAN: "It wasn't going to be a fair fight in Virginia?"

HOLDER: "No, it wasn't going to be a fair fight nationally if you try to steal seats in Texas, in North Carolina, and in Missouri. And so, the question I have for people who are critical of that, which we're doing, is, what were we supposed to do, nothing? Just allow them to try to stack the deck, to try to steal seats? And all we're trying to do is meet them and try to make the system as fair as it possibly can be. And that's all that this is about. And it's temporary and it is also something that the citizens have the ability to say yes or no to."
