There's a referendum in Virginia on redistricting. Democrats are responding to the explicit, Trump ordered gerrymandering in other states, and want to do be able to do the same in Virginia.

It's quite astonishing how the state legislature in lots of states gets to redraw maps to the advantage of their party. Virginia requires a bipartisan commission to set its maps, but can overrule that with a referendum. Hence this.

Same situation happened in California, which voted Yes by a bigger margin that the general political slant of the state. Hopefully that happens in Virginia too.
