Virginia redistricting referendum

The special election in Virginia centers on a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the Democratic-controlled General Assembly to implement a new 10-1 congressional map.

If approved, the measure could lead to a net gain of four House seats for Democrats, potentially erasing the Republican majority.

President Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson have campaigned aggressively against the measure, labeling it a partisan 'power grab.' Polling suggests a tight race that will likely depend on turnout in this low-profile spring election.
