CNN: Redistricting in Virginia Has Prevailed, Likely to Give Dems Four More Seats

ZELENY: “Now, CNN can project that the redistricting effort in Virginia has prevailed. That means the vote yes side, which largely will give Democrats up to four more seats in the House of Representatives, has defeated the vote. A no side. You can see the numbers there on your screen. They‘re still coming in. And one of the reasons that we are projecting this now is that the vote in a fairfax county, which is a largely democratic area, often slow to come in on election nights, but it‘s now beginning to come in. So when you look at that, as well as the democratic vote and other democratic strong areas, this is what is projecting the the yes side of this. Anderson, if you step back at this really a year into this redistricting fight that the president started with the the Texas effort, followed by California and now Virginia, it really is about a Wash now. And in fact, Democrats will prevail slightly in the overall map in terms of the number of seats that have picked up. So largely the gambit that the president started about a year ago to try and help his house majority in November has been erased entirely.”
