Virginia’s Power Map: Democrats push mid-decade redistricting plan
Virginia Democrats are pushing a temporary constitutional amendment to allow lawmakers to redraw congressional districts mid-decade, but only if other states do the same. The proposal aims to counter GOP-led redistricting, with Democrats framing it as a defensive move. Republicans oppose it, calling it a partisan power grab. Voters would decide in a 2026 referendum.
