Virginia voters asked to approve the ‘most gerrymandered’ congressional districts in the US — here’s what could happen

WASHINGTON — Virginians will decide one of the most aggressive gerrymandering proposals in the country on Tuesday that Democrats hope will help them net four seats in the midterm elections. The referendum is expected to take a 6 to 5 Democrat to Republican breakdown in Congress and shift it to a 10 to 1 split for the Virginia delegation. In other words, Democrats would be very likely, but not guaranteed to control 91% of Virginia’s congressional seats in a state where former Vice President Kamala Harris won with just under 52% of the popular vote in 2024.
