Read full article: In rural Virginia, excitement and dread grows over Democrats’ redistricting referendumVirginia could be next to redraw its congressional map. There's a redistricting referendum on the ballot April 21.

Some voters welcome the chance to push back against President Donald Trump and Republicans in Washington. Others worry about being represented by Democrats unfamiliar with the needs of their communities.
