Virginia GOP on the Front Lines to ‘Keep Fairness’ in House District Maps 

Today, Virginians are flocking to the polls to vote on whether to amend the Virginia Constitution and let the state Legislature redraw the state’s congressional maps.

The map state Democrats have proposed would give their party a 10-1 seat advantage, likely leaving just one Republican to represent the historically purple state.

The Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives could be on the line. Four Virginia Republicans could be out of a job, and nearly half of Virginia could lose accurate representation in Washington.

“People deserve to have representation in Congress that reflects their political ideologies, and right now we have that,” Rep. Jen Kiggans, R-Va., told The Daily Signal, referencing the current 6-5 congressional map in Virginia.

All five Virginia Republicans are home in their districts today—at polls, knocking on doors, and talking to voters.

“We have spent time, we’ve spent money, we’ve spent energy educating voters about these gerrymandered maps. We’re optimistic that voters are going to reject them,” Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., said.

“I think that we can win this, and especially since … we know historically that on voting day is when we have strong Republican turnout,” Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., said.
