Virginia eyes a map that could tilt the US House toward Democrats

A Democratic-backed redraw of Virginia’s 11-seat U.S. House map could tilt representation in favor of Democrats, potentially yielding up to 10 seats as districts are realigned across Northern Virginia and other regions. Republicans decry the plan as gerrymandering, while supporters boast a funding edge. The map faces legal challenges, and a court ruling could moot Tuesday’s vote if rules were violated or the plan is blocked, setting the stage for a continued fight over mid-decade redistricting.
