A group fighting to get Virginia voters to approve an April 21 referendum to let Democrats in the state redraw its congressional maps is being pumped with liberal cash, getting almost $33 million from just 8 left-wing entities over the last three months, including from the George Soros -backed Fund For Policy Reform Inc. The Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) tracks state spending in Virginia and, according to its database, Virginians for Fair Elections has received $5 million from the Soros-funded and founded entity, which is within his Open Society Foundations Network of groups known for pushing liberal causes. Soros' network has been a powerful force behind supporting dozens of far-left district attorneys, such as the formerly recalled San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, Chicago's Kim Foxx, and L.A.'s George Gascon. In 2022, 1 in 5 Americans were represented by a Soros-linked prosecutor, according to data from the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund. Meanwhile, in Virginia, Soros' Democracy PAC donated at least $500K to help Abigail Spanberger become governor and to help Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, who fantasized about killing his Republican rival and his family. This time, the cause is a massive gerrymandering effort in Virginia, where the state's congressional delegation could go from effectively 6 Democrats and 5 Republicans, to 10-Democratic-leaning districts and one Republican-leaning district, per VPAP. Virginians for Fair Elections is one of the main vehicles pushing Virginia voters to vote "yes" on April 21 to redraw the state's maps. Virginia's decision to redraw its maps came after mid-decade redistricting efforts by Rdpublicans in Texas, which significantly changed the state's electoral maps.
