Virginia voters decide on redistricting ballot measure that could shift congressional seats to Democrats

Virginia held a special election on a ballot measure that would amend the state constitution to give the Democratic-majority General Assembly temporary power to redraw congressional districts. If passed, the measure could shift Virginia's congressional delegation from a 6-5 Democratic edge to a 10-1 Democratic advantage, potentially affecting House control. The redistricting push was framed by Democrats as a response to Republican-initiated mid-decade redistricting in Texas.
