politicsApr 7, 2026242,523

Virginia voters will decide on April 21 a constitutional amendment that temporarily redraws congressional districts through 2030. Early voting is already open. Supporters frame the measure as a defense against Republican mid-cycle gerrymandering in states like Texas, and say it will protect fair representation in Congress. Billionaire-backed PACs and GOP operatives are spending to oppose the amendment. The outcome will shape Virginia's congressional map and could affect control of the U.S. House.
