Virginia approves congressional map redraw that will favor Democrats, AP projects

A Democratic-backed redistricting ballot measure in Virginia will pass, The Associated Press projects, notching Democrats a key win that could allow them to flip up to four Republican-held congressional seats in November.

The referendum allows the Democratic-controlled legislature to redraw the state’s congressional districts. That would allow the legislature to implement a map that will reconfigure four congressional seats to favor Democrats, which could help determine control of the U.S. House after November’s midterms.
