Map quest: Virginia vote leaves Trump seeing red – and blue
Virginia voters approved a referendum granting the Democratic-controlled legislature power to redraw congressional maps, potentially shifting the state's representation from a 6-5 Democratic edge to a 10-1 dominance.
This redistricting battle, ignited by Republican efforts in Texas and countered by Democrats in California, could significantly impact the upcoming U.S. House of Representatives elections, threatening the Republican majority.
