Trump claims Virginia redistricting election was 'rigged'

President Trump alleged the Virginia redistricting vote was 'rigged', attributing the outcome to mail-in ballots, despite analysts predicting a 'Yes' victory throughout the count.
The 'Yes' side, backed by Democrats, was favored to win, with significant leads from populous Democratic counties like Fairfax.
A judge has blocked the certification of the referendum results, citing procedural issues, but there is no evidence of fraud in the vote counting.
