Virginia voters approved a redistricting plan tonight that gives Democrats up to four additional House seats, a win for the Democratic-affiliated activist who has spent a decade litigating redistricting cases including multiple Supreme Court appeals. The map is expected to significantly improve Democrats' odds in the 2026 midterm elections in a narrowly divided House. This referendum represents a major swing in the redistricting landscape — Virginia's new map could help shift national House control, though Republican opposition to the gerrymandered outcome is already intensifying behind the scenes.
