Democrats scored a major victory on Tuesday as a congressional redistricting referendum that could give Democrats a significant boost in the battle for the U.S. House of Representatives majority in this year's midterm elections was passed by Virginia voters, the Associated Press reported at 8:49 p.m. ET.
The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state's current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could result in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia's congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge.
That would give the Democrats four additional left-leaning U.S. House seats ahead of the midterms as the party tries to win back control of the chamber from the GOP, which currently holds a razor-thin majority.
The standalone spring referendum capped months of political crossfire and court battles, sky-high early voting turnout, and tons of national attention and money poured into the ballot box showdown.
The Supreme Court of Virginia allowed the referendum to move forward after a lower court struck it down. But legal challenges to the referendum remain unresolved and are still before Virginia's highest court.

Great news for liberals...or the haters, eh, Rebel?
and next week Florida legislature is back in session, they can do the same damn thing if they choose to
Not voting is the same as voting Democrat.
Liberal Virginia voters. Demonrat idiots.
a democratic Governor,
2 democratic Senators,,
10 democratic Congressman, and 1 Republican.
WOW!
As it is, the party of open borders, mutilating and sterilizing our children, and obstruction has won another victory.
and the GOP was too busy investing money to helping Cornyn than putting money into this cause ya know, priorities..now next week in Florida, DeSantis can do something just like this if he chooses to
When I saw it was 51-49 NO, I figured no way do they not get YES ahead in some way.
The ballot question was rigged, as well, saying the YES vote was a vote for ‘fairness.’
The IRGC, Russia, China, and all democrats, especially Hakeem Jeffries are partying big time tonight…big sigh.
Fairfax is still “counting.”
Disappointing indeed. Another great state falls to communist oppressors.
From my experience watching elections here in New Mexico, Pubs and independents don’t vote. It will be hard to keep a Republic if its concerned citizens don’t vote.
Repubs should pass the SAVE Act in retaliation. But they won’t.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Henry...now we have Spanberger? Damn the 19th Amendment...damn it to hell!
The RINO’s in Indiana wimped out on their chance.
Rs pay little attention to any off-year voting. In this way, many are no better than Democrats b/c not voting is a half-vote for Democrats.
That’s a lame excuse. Everyone knew exactly what was at stake.
One of my partners has a place in horse country. There was a sea of “no” signs in his county.
Agreed,,,they will wimp out on that too.
