https://cardinalnews.org/2026/02/17/5-reasons-why-the-redistricting-referendum-will-pass-5-reasons-why-it-will-fail/Virginia is now headed toward something it’s never done before: a special election to amend the state constitution to temporarily set aside another constitutional amendment that two-thirds of voters approved barely five years ago.
The Virginia Supreme Court may yet throw out the results after the fact, but for now, let’s assume that the referendum on April 21 on whether Virginia should redraw the state’s congressional lines mid-decade to give Democrats an overwhelmingly partisan advantage in the state’s delegation will count. The specific goal: Democrats want new maps to knock four Republican House members out of office: Ben Cline, Jen Kiggans, John McGuire and Rob Wittman. Only Morgan Griffith would survive simply because it’s impossible to draw a Democratic seat in Southwest Virginia, where most localities are 70% or more Republican.
Who will win? If I knew that, I’d go to one of the casinos in Bristol or Danville and lay down a big wad of cash at the blackjack table.
