Virginia Democrats Seek to Redraw House Maps in 2026 Midterm Push

Virginia lawmakers are looking to redraw the state’s congressional maps, the latest push by Democrats as the party seeks to counter similar moves by Republicans in the race to win a House majority in the 2026 midterms.

Democratic leaders in Virginia’s legislature are planning to introduce a constitutional amendment that would allow for an exception to the state’s 10-year redistricting requirements, according to a person familiar with the plan.
