Voters Approving Virginia Democratic Gerrymander Puts Democrats on Cusp of 218 House Seats in Ratings, but Questions Remain By Kyle Kondik
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE

— As a result, we are moving four House ratings in favor of Democrats.
— The new Virginia map is not completely set, though, as the Supreme Court of Virginia could still revert to the old map if it finds that Virginia Democrats did not follow proper procedure in presenting this constitutional amendment to voters.

Lawyers Sue for Higher Prices By Stephen Moore
You aren't going to believe the latest lawsuit fad in America: suing companies as monopolistic for cutting prices to consumers. In legal mumbo jumbo, this is called "predatory pricing" -- keeping prices lower than charged by competitors. The idea is to keep prices so low that rival firms can't compete. Quick, throw Walmart, Home Depot and McDonald's in jail.

The Places We’re Watching as Virginia Votes on a Pro-Democratic House Map By J. Miles Coleman
KEY POINTS FROM THIS ARTICLE
— Next week, Virginians will decide whether or not to scrap their current House map, where Democrats have a 6-5 advantage, in favor of one where Democrats could win up to 10 seats.
— The state Supreme Court will consider the legality of the ballot measure after the vote is held next week; Republicans are hoping that, if the measure passes, it is invalidated by the court.
— While the result may not be the type of sweeping affirmation that Democrats got in last year’s elections, it would still be a surprise if the vote fails.
— Last year’s attorney general contest may provide a template for the results, with key localities such as Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, and Stafford County standing out as places the “no” side will want to carry in order to spring an upset.
— If the voters approve the map, we would rate 4 seats that are currently held by Republicans as at least Leans Democratic.
— Aside from the Virginia vote, where Democrats stand to gain, there are a couple of shoes left to drop in the 2026 mid-decade redistricting saga that could benefit Republicans.
