By Kate Plummer – Senior US News Reporter:
Virginia Democrats are attempting to create a new congressional map in 2026 that could help them win four new seats.
Amid efforts in other states to make maps more favorable to Democrats or Republicans, Virginia House of Delegates Speaker Don Scott outlined the state’s plans to do the same at a meeting of the Virginia Property Owners Alliance.

If the MAGAts are gonna keep doing it, the democrats are gonna have to fight back.
No mercy. Dems got a big mandate in Virginia last month.
I would usually be against us, but seeing the actions of the Republicans, fuck yeah why not?
Do what you have to do to save democracy and then fix the stupid things later. The alternative is [gestures broadly].
LFG!!! We must win the House and hopefully senate before Trump does more damage
This is the way. Fight fire with fire.
Redistricting alone won’t do it and has the risk of backfiring. It dilutes the Democrats in other districts and makes them less blue. A “moderate” Republican has a chance to skim enough moderate Democrats from progressive candidates, thus tilting the election. But most importantly, the Democrats must run quality candidates who people want to vote for.
I sure hope that many who did not vote in 2024 have now learned why it is so important to pay attention to the issues, not the rhetoric and then vote in 2026.
The rules are: if you can do something to gain power, then do it.
I want to win.
Do it! Like yesterday!
Republicans have decided that Gerrymandering isn’t against the rules, that it just is the rules, so, do it. Start playing to win.
Sometimes you fight fire with fire.
Hmm stop proposing and do it.
Polotics. Rawr evil x. good y.
Oh hell yeah
And we are gonna add dc and PR as states
Considering their massive win at the state legislative level, I don’t see why they couldn’t do this.
Do it until MAGA is on board with getting rid of gerrymandering
I knew Texas doing this was gonna cause a ripple effect they didn’t plan for.
This is just Dems playing the Texas game.
Remember: the GOP started this.
Same thing with Trump going on about trying to cancel out Biden’s pardons because of “auto pen”. Trump 100% uses auto pen, the VAST majority of the time. So just remember that if Biden’s auto pen orders are pulled down, then Trump’s auto pen orders can/will be pulled down in the future.
Don’t hate the player, hate the game
Republicans started this shit. Although I thought Indiana wasn’t going to listen to Trump.
This happening in Virginia tells me they don’t think Indiana Republicans will hold out.
Let’s just stretch nova to include the rest of the state.
Good, fuck the GOP. They’ve been doing this for years now with no opposition.
I’m somewhat skeptical VA is blue enough for this to work but more power to them.
Do it
I’m immediately reminded of this: [https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/8/14/2338115/-Cartoon-Redistricting-fight](https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2025/8/14/2338115/-Cartoon-Redistricting-fight)
Do it
The fact is, while both parties gerrymander, Republicans have tended to gerrymander harder than Democrats do. So red states have a lot less additional blood they can squeeze out of their maps than blue states can.
DO IT. The MAGATs opened the door, so go do it.
Stop talking and DO.
Which of course GOP will say is unconstitutional despite them trying to do the same thing in the states they are able to. Dems do it to balance the scale, GOP does it to keep power.
It won’t be long until MAGA claims this is corruption and stealing elections without mentioning they shamelessly did it first.
Fkn do it already, ya losers.
do it. fuck the GOP.
Do it.
Good. Democrats need to learn to play hard ball.
Gerrymander until there are no Republican seats left as far as I’m concerned.
Do it. Democrats don’t have to follow any rules that Republicans don’t follow. If Republicans gerrymander, so should Democrats.
Do it!!!
Won’t help. I’ve been traveling a lot for work. If there’s one thing that I have noticed the dislike for DT is 4:1. I think midterms will be a bloodbath.
