"Virginia had literally had the fairest maps in the nation. They had a 6-5 map, six Democrats, five Republicans. In terms of proportional representation, they had the fairest map in the nation that was drawn, by the way, by an independent commission that the voters asked for just a few years ago."
"Now they will have the least fair maps in the nation and I'm not surprised that the yes vote won: they had all the money and all the lies, and sometimes in politics when you got those two things you can put something over the line, even something as egregious as this."
"Now you're going to have huge chunks of rural Virginia represented by five or six Democrats who all live in northern Virginia within about 15 miles of each other. It's a complete joke, everybody knows it."
Virginia's recent ballot measure on mid-decade redistricting has resulted in a congressional map that favors Democrats, reducing Republican representation to one district. Scott Jennings criticized the measure, stating that Virginia previously had the fairest maps in the nation, drawn by an independent commission. He expressed concerns over the influence of money and misinformation in the campaign for the ballot question, which he believes undermined the integrity of the electoral process. Jennings also noted a decline in Governor Abigail Spanberger's approval ratings as a consequence of the redistricting changes.
