Virginia voters have approved a mid-decade redistricting plan, a move that could significantly bolster Democrats' prospects of securing four additional U.S. House seats in the upcoming November midterm elections. These elections are poised to determine control of a narrowly divided Congress.
The constitutional amendment, endorsed by the electorate, circumvents a bipartisan redistricting commission. Instead, it permits the implementation of new districts drawn by Virginia’s Democratic-led General Assembly.
