I voted no, and I look at the history of voting in Virginia and has been fairly balanced,

and I like that. I like the competition between the two parties.

I voted yes. As many people have said to level the playing field, you know, it was not started

by us. And I feel that we had to react to things that were going on in other parts of the

country. First it was Texas, then California. And today it's Virginia's turn to ride the redistricting wave of this election cycle.

Voters there considering a ballot measure that would redraw their congressional map.

If it passes, it could potentially give Democrats four more seats in the House.

Virginia is white-blue, or if you prefer purplish blue.

It's not California, and so you're not going to get a landslide.

That's for certain. You're not going to get anything approaching Abigail Spanberger's 15-point victory last November.

Most observers here think that the referendum will probably pass.

I've noticed a lot of hesitation, not so much because of polling public or private,

but because people in talking with their friends hear surprising things.

From Democrats, for example, they are concerned about the idea of having this kind of

redistricting at mid-decade and what it could lead to, understanding that Texas did it,

because Trump approached them to do it, and so did Missouri, and so did North Carolina,

and maybe, maybe, Florida will do the same thing.

So you have to fight fire with fire.

You can't unilaterally disarm.

So I would say, you know, probably the odds are given the Virginia electorate that it will pass,

but I don't think it's going to be anything close to a landslide.

It will expire in 2030 and go back to the nonpartisan panel?
