Trump extends ‘rigged’ election claims to Virginia redistricting, without citing evidence
The amendment passed 51.5% to 48.5% and could shift four House seats toward Democrats, according to vote counts cited by The Associated Press.
- President Donald Trump claimed without evidence that Virginia's referendum on redistricting was rigged after a narrow vote approved a Democratic-favored redrawing of congressional maps with 51.45% voting in favor.
- The referendum potentially allows Democrats to increase their seats from six to ten out of Virginia's eleven U.S. House seats, significantly affecting the state's House representation before the 2026 midterms.
- Virginia Republicans filed a lawsuit challenging the referendum results, arguing that the ballot language was deceptive and that the process lacked fairness and transparency.
- The redistricting vote is part of a national partisan battle over gerrymandering, with both parties redrawing maps to gain advantages in upcoming elections, including Democrats in states like Virginia and California.
