Big name Democrats are flooding the airwaves in Virginia to push new gerrymandered congressional maps, while local Republicans are on the ground, deploying a volunteer grassroots effort to block the plan.
Virginia Democrats are backing a proposal to redraw the state’s House map, with support from Gov. Abigail Spanberger and former President Barack Obama. If voters approve it on April 21, Virginia’s delegation would flip from a 6-5 Democratic edge to a 10-1 Democratic majority.
Democrats have poured millions into the race, but Virginia Republicans tell the Daily Caller they can combat the money machine with their network on the ground.
