STATEMENT: VIRGINIANS VOTE YES, RESHAPE THE FIGHT FOR THE U.S. HOUSE Richmond, Va. — Virginians for Fair Elections Campaign Manager Kéren Charles Dongo released the following statement after voters approved the redistricting referendum: "Tonight, Virginia voters chose to fight back against Trump's effort to rig congressional maps ahead of the 2026 midterms. In a special election with a single question and no statewide candidates on the ballot, millions of Virginians showed up — at levels that rival a general election — to defend fair representation. That is a remarkable statement about what was at stake. The impact is immediate. The new maps, passed by the General Assembly and signed by Governor Spanberger, will now be in effect. At a moment when Donald Trump directed Republican legislatures across the country to redraw their maps to lock in a House majority before voters had their say, Virginia just changed the battlefield. The path to retaking the U.S. House of Representatives is fundamentally different tonight because Virginians chose to act. This campaign was built in just five months — overcoming nearly $40 million spent on spreading MAGA lies and misinformation to confuse voters, navigating unprecedented legal challenges to stop Virginians from having a say, and asking voters to grapple with a complex issue for our democracy. But in the end, voters cut through the noise, made their voices heard, and voted YES. We are deeply grateful to every Virginian who voted, volunteered, donated, and stood up in this moment. Tonight belongs to them."

NBC is calling it now 💪
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
It must be Tuesday.

The Trump administration, after shutting down a resettlement program for Afghans who aided U.S. forces, is now negotiating to relocate up to 1,100 of those individuals to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Texas gerrymandered their Congressional maps so Republicans can keep control of the House. Missouri and North Carolina followed
Unlike the GOP, Democrats are giving people a choice: Do you want more of Trump’s awful policies, or do you want a level playing field in Congress
