The Virginia NAACP has denounced mailers claiming to be misleading voters about a redistricting referendum in their state. The mailers feature images of former President Barack Obama and quotes he has previously criticized gerrymandering. However, this aligns with Democrats' efforts to redraw congressional lines in Virginia, part of a larger fight over partisan redistricting by Texas Republicans. The National Democratic Redistricting Committee condemned the mailers' use of an unauthorized photo of Obama and lies about his position on the Virginia referendum. Former state delegate A.C. Cordoza defended the campaign, stating that the accuracy of the quotes were accurate. The referendum could be crucial for the midterms, with Republicans pursuing new redistricting plans in red states and a pivotal Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act potentially impacting the landscape.
