February 20, 2026 • Google News World

A Virginia judge has blocked a referendum on redistricting, which would have affected four U.S. House seats. The referendum was set to take place on April 21.

The ballot language for the referendum stated that it was a vote for “fairness.” However, Republicans argued that this description was not fair.

The judge’s decision sided with the Republican National Committee and GOP lawmakers. The outcome of the blocked referendum is unclear at this time.

Details about the redistricting process and the specific congressional districts affected by the referendum are not provided in the article.
