Senators Warner and Kaine: Extraordinary Circumstances Require Temporary Proposal to Preserve Fair Playing Field

Richmond, Va. — Over the weekend, United States Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine reaffirmed their commitment to protecting Virginia voters and upholding fair representation amid renewed efforts by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans to rig the midterm elections.

Read the full statement from Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine below: 

“Donald Trump’s decision to prioritize redrawing voting maps across the country instead of focusing on lowering costs for families has created extraordinary circumstances for states like Virginia. There is now a temporary proposal aimed at preserving a fair playing field and protecting Virginia voters. While some states are moving ahead through partisan deals behind closed doors, Virginia is following its constitutional process and allowing voters to render the final judgment. We strongly support this effort and Virginia’s commitment to public transparency throughout the process.”

Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine emphasized that Virginians — not politicians or courts — will have the final say. Early voting will run from March 6 through April 17, with Election Day set for April 21.
