Fairfax & Arlington counties are always late in reporting their tabulation.
I'ma Fairfax resident, and I want this YES vote in a very bad way, itsa pride then boastful attitude that has consumed me.

C'mon Virginia . . . make this old man proud . . !

Projections are nice, I want solid confirmation. Do I believe the Commonwealth will pass this referendum . . I DAYUM SURE DO.

At this point, call it. It’s almost a dead even race, with most of Fairfax still not reporting. It’s over…yay good guys!

My YES vote is on the winning side that says Eff You DJT.

FWIW, I don’t think we’ll need the 4 extra seats in November, but still nice for some cushion.

Also don’t forget the VA courts let this vote go ahead but it is still subject to a court decision about whether it was properly included on the ballot for the upcoming election.

I hope and do believe this is true.

Question: Should the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to temporarily adopt new congressional districts to restore fairness in the upcoming elections, while ensuring Virginia's standard redistricting process resumes for all future redistricting after the 2030 census?

All eyes turn to Florida

Pubs need to be careful in states that are already gerrymandered in their favor. Get greedy and you might end up losing more seats than gaining.
