A Redistricting War in Florida, Georgia’s Runoff and the Latest Politics News
The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Virginia Democrats are pushing a referendum on aggressive redistricting aimed at eliminating up to four Republican-leaning districts, with significant Democratic funding supporting the effort ahead of the April 21 vote.
- Polls show only lukewarm support from likely voters in Virginia, with just 52% backing the redistricting plan and early voting data not indicating a clear trend.
- In Florida, Republicans are preparing for a special legislative session to redraw congressional maps, potentially adding up to five new seats, but a recent poll shows 56% of voters oppose mid-decade redistricting.
- Some Florida Republicans worry that aggressive redistricting could backfire by costing GOP seats amid declining support for President Trump and recent Democratic special election wins in the state.
