Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) confirmed that Virginia would use its current congressional map, drawn in 2021, rather than the Democratic-drawn map from the April referendum, in this year’s midterm elections.

Spanberger’s confirmation that the state will retain its current map for 2026, consisting of six Democratic and five Republican districts, clarifies how the Democratic governor will proceed as the litigation plays out over this year’s redraw.
