Virginia voters narrowly approve gerrymandered congressional maps – boosting Dem chances of retaking the House

Virginia voters narrowly approved a hotly contested redistricting referendum Tuesday that could have massive implications for which party controls the House of Representatives after the 2026 midterm elections. The aggressive gerrymandering measure, which could net Democrats four congressional seats, passed in a 51% to 48% vote.    The referendum is expected to result in a dramatic power swing, potentially giving Democrats control of all but one of the state’s 11 congressional seats next year.
