The courts have now cleared the path for a Virginia Special Election that will redraw their midterm congressional maps. Similar to Proposition 50 in California last year, new maps in Virginia must be approved by voters. These maps could add up to 4-5 seats for Democrats to counter pending new maps in Florida that will do the same for Republicans. The existing margin is thin and new maps in Virginia will keep the playing field even with no new net gain for either party, putting Democrats in a strong position to win the November midterms.
