About this episode

The episode analyzes the recent Virginia redistricting referendum and its implications for state and national politics.

In 2020, Virginia voters passed a bipartisan redistricting commission to take politics out of mapmaking. Now, in April 2026, they voted on whether to blow it up and replace it with the most gerrymandered map in the country...guess which they chose. We are going to tell you exactly what just happened in Virginia with a detailed political analysis, breaking down the numbers and the implications for both state politics and us politics as a whole. ----- SPONSOR: Alliance Defending Freedom Alliance Defending Freedom is on the front lines defending free speech, religious liberty, and parental rights.
