Virginia voters have passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.
Abigail Spanberger lied to the people of Virginia on the campaign trail, saying that she would not back this and it was almost the fist thing she did once in office.
This has massive potential to backfire on Democrats, much like the passage of Obamacare.

Virginia voters pass redistricting referendum, setting stage for new congressional maps
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.
