Obama urges Virginians to vote yes on redistricting measure that could give Democrats 4 more House seats

Former President Barack Obama is endorsing a Virginia redistricting measure that could give Democrats four additional House seats in the 2022 midterms. The proposal would shift redistricting authority from a nonpartisan commission to the Democrat-controlled legislature until 2030, potentially expanding their congressional delegation from 6-5 to 10-1. Republicans oppose the initiative, calling it an 'unconstitutional power grab,' while Democrats argue it counters partisan gerrymandering.
