- Spanberger-backed redistricting vote culminates Dem ‘power grab’ in key swing state, says report
Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's redistricting referendum, backed by Democrats, is accused by the Honest Election Project Action (HEP) of being a 'power grab' to entrench party control. The referendum, if approved, would temporarily override Virginia's bipartisan redistricting process, allowing lawmakers to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms. Spanberger defends the move as a temporary response to other states' actions and a safeguard against partisan gerrymandering.
