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

After putting an aggressive redraw of the state’s congressional map before voters, some Virginia Democrats are growing uneasy about its prospects for passage one month out from the special election

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

Prince George’s County has seen two redistricting disputes in the past decade.

Residents and voting‑rights advocates have proposed a charter amendment to strengthen the County’s redistricting rules before the next cycle begins.

I’m glad to be working on this both professionally and as a County resident.

Last week, Obama endorsed Virginia's #redistricting referendum that, if passed, would allow Democrats to implement a 10D-1R congressional map. In the ad, Obama says, 'Republicans want to steal enough seats in Congress to rig the next election and wield unchecked power for two more years. But you can stop them — by voting YES by April 21st'." #politics
Hubby dropped our #Virginia Special Election ballots off today at our county ballot drop box. He reported back that the parking lot was packed. It's a large parking lot. One hopes that is related to a lot of people casting their ballots to redistrict Virginia and get some sane people into office to actually be able to be a check on this rogue insane corrupt criminal murderous Trump & Republican & Extreme SCOTUS abomination. #SpecialElection #Redistricting
