What Happened
Former President Barack Obama urged Virginia voters to support a redistricting referendum in a special election scheduled for April 21. Early voting is underway until April 18. The referendum would authorize the state Legislature to redraw congressional maps, potentially giving Democrats a 10-1 advantage. Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed the measure ahead of November midterms.
