Virginia Democrats win redistricting

In a high-stakes battle over gerrymandering, the 'Old Dominion' has voted to enact a Democrat-led redistricting plan that could result in a 10-1 seat advantage for the party.

The narrow victory for the ballot measure is a direct setback for President Trump's national effort to encourage Republican-led states to redraw maps in their favor.

While Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries celebrated the win as a victory for fair representation, Republicans have criticized the ballot language as 'blatantly dishonest'.

The outcome now places increased pressure on Florida, where a pending Republican redistricting plan could still determine overall House control.
