Dark Money Floods Virginia Ahead of Redistricting Vote That Could Give Democrats Edge

Tens of millions of dollars in dark money from undisclosed donors has flooded into Virginia ahead of Tuesday's congressional redistricting referendum, which could give Democrats a House edge if passed. The influx of funds is largely due to efforts by Republicans to shape the state's electoral map and limit Democratic representation. If approved, the changes would result in the creation of more Republican-leaning districts and fewer Democratic ones. The outcome of the vote is seen as crucial for controlling the balance of power in the House of Representatives.
