Representative Jen Kiggans criticized the redistricting referendum and accused Governor Spanberger of misleading voters regarding her stance on gerrymandering.
Virginia Republicans are rallying voters to reject a redistricting referendum that would allow the Democratic-controlled legislature to redraw congressional maps, which the GOP argues would lead to extreme gerrymandering.
Opposing the referendum
Virginia voters approved a redistricting referendum that could change congressional districts, including Jen Kiggans's. Coverage describes Kiggans's district as becoming more favorable to Democrats. Center outlets detail the map's district and electoral effects, including potential changes to House races. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Republican opposition, legal challenges and claims that the map threatens GOP representation.
