Virginia Democrats Pass Map that Could Flip 4 US House Seats, if Courts and Voters Approve
Virginia Democrats passed a new map aiming to gain four U.S. House seats; ongoing litigation and a restraining order delay a key voter referendum, court and party officials said.
- On Friday, Virginia Democrats passed a new congressional map through the Legislature in Richmond, aiming to help their party win four more seats.
- Democrats framed the effort as a response to President Donald Trump's mid-decade redistricting last year and say the change would be temporary until after the 2030 census.
- A day earlier, Tazewell County Circuit Judge Jack Hurley Jr. granted an emergency injunction and temporary restraining order blocking the April 21 referendum, halting preparation for early voting from March 6 through March 18 as Democrats appealed to Virginia's state Supreme Court.
- Gov. Abigail Spanberger is poised to sign the map if voters approve, while Democratic candidates including Dan Helmer, J.P. Cooney, Elaine Luria, Beth Macy and Tom Perriello are already lining up.
- Unusually, mid-decade redistricting has sparked a nationwide burst of efforts, but Republicans still expect gains and believe they can win nine House seats in several states.
