Summary
Virginians for Fair Elections, a group fighting for a ballot referendum to allow Virginia to redraw its congressional maps, has received millions of dollars from George Soros-backed dark money groups and top Democratic Party officials, including Nancy Pelosi. Other donors include the American Federation of Teachers, the Service Employees International Union, and the League of Conservation Voters. The group has raised over $64 million, with the majority coming from House Majority Forward, a nonprofit counterpart of House Democrats’ House Majority PAC. The group opposing the redistricting effort, Virginians For Fair Maps, has raised nearly $20 million, mostly from a group by the same name that is also a significant donor to the Virginia Republican Party.
Our Reading
The process has entered a familiar phase.
Millions of dollars are being spent on a ballot referendum. George Soros-backed groups and top Democratic Party officials are leading the charge. The opposition is raising money too, but not as much. The numbers are big, but the script is familiar. Donors give, groups spend, and voters decide. It’s a performance we’ve seen before.
