Barack Obama: "Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack. Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections. Now Virginia has a chance to help level. Vote Yes on April 21."
Virginians can also vote early.

Virginia Democrats, once riding high on election victories, now face anxiety over the state's aggressive congressional redistricting referendum, scheduled for an unusual April special election. Critics question the fairness of a gerrymandered map designed to potentially flip up to four GOP seats, contrasting it with Democrats' prior support for bipartisan redistricting. With mixed polling, unpredictable turnout, and Republicans' early voting gains, passage is uncertain. Some Democrats defend it as a move to reclaim the House and counter Trump, but the irony of advancing gerrymandering against their past principles is not lost on voters. Want the full story?

'Not a done deal': Democrats start to sweat over Virginia's redistricting referendum

Why it matters:

Closing schools to host polling lets more people vote where they live, but it also lays bare how election logistics rely on public space and labor—teachers and families shoulder the disruption so politicians can be chosen.

Great. :) Got text today from my county elections to confirm that our votes had been received and counted. Let's hope sanity prevails and Virginia votes yes on redistricting and we get enough sane people back in public power to stop complicit republicans from enabling this corrupt, chaotic, clueless, and crazy Trump "administration". #Virginia #Redistricting #Corruption #USPol
