The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board blamed President Donald Trump for the nationwide “gerrymander race to the bottom” after Virginia voters delivered a sharp rebuke to Republican redistricting in other parts of the country.
Voters narrowly approved a statewide referendum on Tuesday that temporarily allows the Virginia General Assembly to draw new congressional districts that could help Democrats pick up as many as four House seats in November’s midterms.
The move came after Trump sparked a national gerrymandering arms race last summer when he asked Texas for a “simple redrawing” of its political maps to help Republicans gain five seats.
