Virginia voters went to the polls Tuesday to vote on a referendum that would empower the Democrat-controlled state legislature to redraw the commonwealth’s congressional map. Those voting “no” did not want state lawmakers having that power, while those voting “yes” did.
Our friends over at Decision Desk HQ have called the vote for the “yes” side. At the time of publishing, the numbers were close, but are expected to expand in favor of “yes” as the remaining votes come in from more liberal parts of the commonwealth.
