Democrats win Virginia redistricting fight, threatening Republican House majority

Democrats in Virginia won a redistricting referendum, granting the state legislature temporary redistricting power through 2030. This could shift Virginia's congressional delegation to a 10-1 Democratic advantage, strengthening their House majority bid. Republicans, including former Gov. Glenn Youngkin and ex-Attorney General Jason Miyares, condemned the move as partisan gerrymandering and unconstitutional, with ongoing legal challenges pending in Virginia's Supreme Court.
