A mudança pode ampliar as chances dos democratas conquistarem até quatro cadeiras adicionais na Câmara dos Deputados dos Estados Unidos nas eleições de meio de mandato, previstas para novembro. O pleito definirá o controle do Congresso, que atualmente tem margem apertada entre os partidos.
A emenda constitucional aprovada permite que a Assembleia Geral da Virgínia, controlada pelos democratas, redesenhe os distritos eleitorais. A decisão contorna o modelo anterior, que previa uma comissão bipartidária responsável pelo processo.
Apesar da aprovação popular, a validade do plano ainda depende de análise da Suprema Corte estadual. A corte avalia questionamentos sobre a legalidade da proposta, o que pode impactar os efeitos do referendo.
O referendo ocorre em meio a disputas nacionais sobre o redesenho eleitoral. O presidente dos Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, incentivou autoridades republicanas a revisarem distritos em estados como o Texas com objetivo de ampliar representação no Congresso.
A estratégia levou a mudanças em outros estados. Republicanos projetam ganhos em distritos redesenhados no Texas, Missouri, Carolina do Norte e Ohio. Democratas, por sua vez, apostam em avanços na Califórnia, Utah e agora na Virgínia.
Atualmente, os democratas ocupam seis das 11 cadeiras da Virgínia na Câmara dos EUA. Com o novo mapa, o partido pode chegar a até 10 cadeiras, com mudanças em regiões como o norte do estado, Richmond, sul da Virgínia e Hampton Roads.
Durante a campanha, aliados do plano classificaram a proposta como resposta a iniciativas de redesenho em outros estados. "uma reação contra o que outros Estados fizeram ao tentar manipular o jogo a favor de Donald Trump nessas eleições para o Congresso", disse a governadora democrata Abigail Spanberger.
