Virginians are voting on a congressional redistricting referendum that could shift the balance of power in the U.S. House of Representatives. If passed, the measure would grant temporary redistricting authority to the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature, potentially creating a 10-1 Democratic advantage in the state's congressional delegation, up from the current 6-5 edge. Republicans, including former Gov. Glenn Youngkin and former Attorney Gen. Jason Miyares, are campaigning against the referendum, labeling it an "unconstitutional power grab" and a "partisan map." Democrats, supported by former President Barack Obama, argue that voting "yes" will counter Republican efforts to unfairly gain seats in the midterms and temporarily level the playing field. The debate highlights a national struggle over redistricting, with both parties seeking to influence election outcomes through map drawing, and significant funding from nonprofit groups on both sides.
