Former President Barack Obama urged Virginians to vote "yes" on a ballot measure to change how congressional maps are drawn. In a video released recently, Obama framed the referendum as a step toward fairer maps and urged a "yes" vote. The ballot question would temporarily transfer congressional map-drawing power from a nonpartisan commission back to Virginia's Democrat-controlled legislature through the 2030 election cycle.
