Virginia voters approved a temporary amendment to the state constitution that allows Democrats, who control state government, to draw new congressional districts and add as many as four Democratic-leaning seats to the House of Representatives.
The effort is in response to a redistricting arms race triggered by President Donald Trump, who pushed Republican-led states to create new GOP-leaning districts so his party could keep its thin majority in the House in this fall’s midterm elections.
Virginia’s 11 House seats are currently split between six Democrats and five Republicans; the map Democrats have promised to enact if the referendum passes would give their party a 10-1 advantage. The state would revert to its bipartisan redistricting commission in 2030.
Protect democracy and volunteer
Join the Democratic party in protecting the Constitution of the United States and the principles of democracy. We must work together to remove the enablers such as U.S. Rep. Ben Cline (R-6th District) and U.S. Rep. Morgan Griffith (R-9th District) who violate their oaths of office with their anti-democratic positions and by refusing to defend the Constitution. Instead Cline and Griffith support baseless conspiracy theories that help feed unrest among the president’s supporters. We must put an end to this.
There are many different ways you can support the Democratic Party. Get involved today and help make a difference in Roanoke County and the United States.
