President Donald Trump called Tuesday’s Virginia redistricting referendum “rigged,” contending that the mail-in ballots impacted the outcome.
NBC Newsreported thatVirginiansvoted 51.5 percent to 48.5 percent to allow the redrawing of the state’s congressional districts, taking the current party breakdown from a 6-5 split in favor of the Democrats to a potential 10-1 party advantage.
The new map creates multiple districts that originate in Democrat-heavy northern Virginia around Washington, D.C., and extend south.

Trump responded onTruth Socialon Wednesday, posting, “A RIGGED ELECTION TOOK PLACE LAST NIGHT IN THE GREAT COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA! All day long Republicans were winning, the Spirit was unbelievable, until the very end when, of course, there was a massive ‘Mail In Ballot Drop!’ Where have I heard that before — And the Democrats eked out another Crooked Victory!”
In the 2020 presidential election, which Trump also thinks was rigged, states likePennsylvania,Georgia, andWisconsinflipped to Democrat Joe Biden’s advantage as mail-in ballots were counted.
Trump added in his Wednesday post, “Six to five goes to ten to one, and yet the Presidential Election in November was very close to a 50-50 split. In addition to everything else, the language on the Referendum was purposefully unintelligible and deceptive. As everyone knows, I am an extraordinarily brilliant person, and even I had no idea what the hell they were talking about in the Referendum, and neither do they! Let’s see if the Courts will fix this travesty of ‘Justice.'”
