Virginia ballot measure could tilt control of the U.S. House

Virginia voters will decide a single statewide ballot measure that would allow the Democratic-majority General Assembly to temporarily redraw congressional districts through 2030, after which a nonpartisan redistricting commission would take over. If approved, Democrats could gain a net of up to four House seats in the looming midterms. The measure is endorsed by Democrats including Gov. Spanberger, Biden, and Obama and opposed by former GOP governors; fundraising favors supporters. Polls close at 7 p.m. ET. About 6,386,877 registered voters are eligible, and roughly 1.4 million advance ballots have been cast. The AP will not project winners while results are unsettled and explains recount rules; Virginia has no automatic recounts.
