President Donald Trump urged Virginians Monday night to oppose an upcoming ballot measure that seeks to redraw the state's districts in a way that could potentially favor Democrats.

Virginians are expected to go to polls Tuesday to vote on the measure, which seeks to change the state's House lines from a 6-5 Democrat majority to a potential 10-1.

“This referendum is a blatant partisan power grab that nobody’s really ever seen anything like it,” Trump said in a telerally call with House Speaker Mike Johnson, according to The Hill. “It’s the liberal extremist Gov. Abigail Spanberger, too bad, and the far-left Democrats in Richmond after Spanberger promised Virginia voters that she would never do this.

“If it passes, Virginia Democrats will eliminate four out of five congressional seats, so you’re going to get just wiped out in terms of representation in Washington," he continued. "That’s what it’s all about. Please get out and vote and vote no. It’s very simple. Just vote no.” 

There are currently five solidly red to light red districts in Virginia, including districts that include the Blue Ridge mountains in the west of the state, Norfolk and Richmond. All but one of the districts would be gerrymandered blue if the measure passes, which is a district in the southwest corner of the state.
