Virginia Redistricting Referendum

The referendum seeks to amend the state's constitution to bypass a bipartisan commission and implement a map drawn by the Democratic-controlled General Assembly.

If approved, the new lines could give Democrats an advantage in up to 10 of the state's 11 House districts, potentially resulting in a net gain of four seats.

Governor Abigail Spanberger has championed the effort as a necessary counter to Republican gerrymandering in other states.

Republicans have condemned the move as a 'blatant partisan power grab' and are mounting legal challenges to the vote.
