Virginia voters decide on a referendum to redraw congressional districts in favor of Democrats

Virginia held a referendum on a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the Democratic-controlled state legislature to bypass the state's bipartisan redistricting commission and redraw congressional districts, potentially shifting the state's 6-5 Democratic House split to as many as 10-1. The vote is part of a national mid-decade redistricting battle that began after Trump urged Texas Republicans to redraw their maps. Nearly $100 million was spent on the campaign, with major figures including Barack Obama, Mike Johnson, and Hakeem Jeffries weighing in.
