Analysis Summary
Virginia voters approved a redistricting referendum on Tuesday that lets Democrats redraw the state's congressional maps, shifting the advantage from 6 Republican seats and 5 Democratic seats to a projected 10-1 Democratic map. This nets Democrats up to four House seats heading into November's midterms — a meaningful swing in a chamber where control is closely divided. The referendum passed despite polling suggesting a close race, with initial results showing the yes vote leading by roughly 2 percentage points with 93% counted.
