Virginia voters approve redistricting referendum that could cost Republicans up to four House seats
Virginia voters narrowly approved a redistricting referendum that redraws congressional maps, eliminating four safe Republican seats and creating a likely 10-1 Democratic advantage in the state's delegation. Republican incumbents Rob Wittman, John McGuire, Jen Kiggans, and Ben Cline face significantly more Democratic-leaning districts under the new maps. Multiple legal challenges are already before the Virginia Supreme Court, with Republicans arguing the ballot language misled voters.
