Virginia redistricting referendum

Former Attorney General Eric Holder has characterized the vote as a 'national fight' for democratic representation.

Critics argue that the move is a partisan gerrymander that could cost Virginia its influence in Washington by creating uncompetitive districts.

The referendum has attracted millions in 'dark money' from both sides, with significant funding linked to tech billionaire Peter Thiel.

The outcome of Tuesday's vote will be a critical test for Governor Abigail Spanberger's administration and the state's political direction.
