What Happened in Virginia
Four steps from reform to power grab
The Promise
In 2020, voters approved Amendment 1 — a bipartisan commission to draw fair districts. Democrats campaigned for it.
The Deadlock
The commission deadlocked in 2021. The Supreme Court drew the maps. The system worked as designed.
The Flip
After winning full control in 2025, Democrats bypassed the commission and drew maps themselves — targeting a 10-1 advantage.
The Fight
The Supreme Court ruled the process unconstitutional. A referendum is set for April 21, 2026.
