“Restoring fairness” or removing it?
The proposed constitutional amendment in Virginia, which claims to “restore fairness,” could instead eliminate the state’s bipartisan district lines and dramatically skew how Virginia voters are represented.
Virginia voters are now considering a constitutional amendment that would eliminate the state’s bipartisan redistricting system. This decision could have a lasting impact on how fairly our communities are represented.
Currently, Virginia’s congressional districts closely reflect the voters:
- About 55% of voters lean Democratic
- About 45% lean Republican
- The current map, drawn by a bipartisan commission, resulted in six Democratic districts and five Republican districts
That balance reflects a system designed to prevent either party from having total control over drawing district lines.
Under a proposal being voted on now, through April 21, 2026, that balance could change dramatically:
- 10 districts will favor the Democratic areas
- Just one district will favor Republican voters
- This would result in 91% of representation coming from just 55% of voters
Please JOIN with us in prayer for this important amendment:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the privilege of living in a country where we, the voters, can shape our political map and representation. We pray that You will allow the process in Virginia to remain as fair and representative as possible.
We ask for wisdom and endurance for our voters, our lawmakers, Prayer/Action Chapter Leaders, and the CWA of Virginia legislative team as we seek to do Your will. Please have mercy on us, Father, and on our state. We ask these things in the name of Jesus, Your Son and our Savior. Amen.
