Narrow Virginia redistricting vote draws Trump’s ‘rigged’ election claim

President Donald Trump said Virginia’s narrowly approved redistricting referendum was “rigged” despite no evidence, a result that could reshape the U.S. House map and prompt legal challenges over ballot wording and procedures. Democrats frame the move as a counter to GOP gerrymandering elsewhere, while Republicans warn of fairness concerns. The outcome, amid a costly national redistricting contest, could influence who controls Congress and provoke battles in other states.
