Virginia Eyes Redrawn House Maps Ahead of 2026 Midterms
TL;DR Summary
Virginia lawmakers advanced a constitutional amendment to let the legislature redraw congressional districts before the 2026 elections. If voters approve in an April referendum, Democrats could gain several seats (potentially up to four) with proposed maps circulating that could tilt the delegation, possibly toward a 10-1 partisan split. The move is part of a broader national fight over gerrymandering ahead of the midterms.
