X/Barack ObamaBarack Obama has urged voters in Virginia to support plans to allow the state to redraw its congressional map ahead of the midterms.In a video message shared with ABC News, the former president asked those in the Old Dominion to vote “yes” on April 21 in a referendum on whether to approve a new redistricting plan that could give Democrats four additional House seats following November’s elections.The plans in Virginia are a counteraction to gerrymandering efforts demanded by President Donald Trump to give the GOP additional seats in states such as Texas and Florida.
