Virginia to vote on Democrat-favored redistricting after lawmakers advanced plan

🤖AI Özeti

Virginia lawmakers have advanced a measure that would allow for mid-decade redistricting, potentially benefiting Democrats by adding up to four Democratic-leaning congressional seats. The constitutional amendment, now set for a vote by the public, would enable lawmakers to redraw district lines this year, bypassing the usual panel responsible for this task. Currently, Democrats hold six of Virginia's eleven congressional districts and aim to secure a majority in nine or ten districts.
