Virginia Democrats advance redistricting amendment

Virginia Democrats have taken a significant step by advancing a constitutional amendment that allows the state to redraw its congressional lines in response to mid-cycle redistricting by other states. This move, approved by a 51-42 vote in the House of Delegates, positions Virginia to engage in a national redistricting battle that could impact the upcoming 2026 midterms. It highlights the ongoing political maneuvering around electoral boundaries, which can shape the balance of power in Congress.
