Early voting picks up in Northern Virginia ahead of redistricting referendum
The amendment could give Democrats as many as four more House seats and restore the legislature’s power to redraw maps after 2030.
- On Tuesday, April 21, Virginia voters will decide whether to approve a constitutional amendment allowing the state legislature to temporarily redraw congressional districts, potentially shifting the delegation from 6-5 to 10-1 for Democrats.
- President Donald Trump initiated a nationwide redistricting arms race last July, prompting Democrats to argue their plan counters Republican-led map redraws in states like Texas and Missouri.
- The Fairness Project donated $11.7 million to the 'yes' campaign while the 'no' committee raised $20 million, as recent polling shows 51 percent of voters support the referendum.
- FRC Action Director Matt Carpenter warned the "redistricting plan would essentially eliminate four pro-life, pro-family, pro-freedom votes in Congress," citing conservative concerns about representation.
- Even if voters approve the amendment, the Virginia State Supreme Court will have the final say on whether mid-decade redistricting is legal, with maps remaining in effect through 2028 and 2030 elections.
