Spanberger: Anti-redistricting campaign tried to ‘trick people’

Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) stated that the campaign opposing a redistricting referendum in the Old Dominion attempted to "trick people" into voting against the measure. The referendum would have allowed congressional maps to be redrawn to favor Democrats. Spanberger indicated her campaign encouraged a "yes" vote, while the "no" campaign used deceptive tactics. This suggests a contentious political battle over electoral map drawing in Virginia. The outcome of the referendum and the alleged tactics employed could impact future legislative power in the state.
