00:00Virginia Dems call for special session that would take winsome Earl Sears off the campaign trail.
00:06With less than two weeks until Virginia's election day, Democrats are facing backlash for a series of controversies,
00:13including Attorney General nominee Jay Jones' violent text messages about his Republican opponent and a last-minute push for redistricting.
00:22Critics call the special legislative session a power grab aimed at tilting elections and protecting the party's hold on power.
00:30Democrats are being accused of pushing a last-minute redistricting plan to gain congressional seats and weaken GOP districts held by Rob Whitman and Jen Keegans.
00:40Critics say Speaker Dawn Scott's move forces Republican lieutenant governor and gubernatorial nominee winsome Earl Sears off the campaign trail
00:48and blocks her fundraising just days before the election.
00:52Her campaign called the session a desperate political stunt, claiming Democrats are manipulating the system to keep power in Virginia.
01:01Earl Sears campaign spokesperson Peyton Vogel called Democrats' actions panic and pathetic, praising winsome as a Marine, mom, and fighter.
01:10Critics say Abigail Spanberger and Virginia Democrats plan to repeal the bipartisan redistricting commission before the election,
01:17then reinstate it later to meet constitutional rules, paving the way to redraw maps favoring blue districts by 2026.
01:25Analysts call it a calculated effort to manipulate voters and avoid backlash.
01:30Voters still have the power to stop the Democrats' redistricting plan, which depends on their slim majority.
01:36If a few seats flip, it collapses.
01:39Critics say the rushed session and campaign restrictions show a desperate bid to hold power.
01:44As election day nears, Virginia's fight is being cast as a test of whether elections are won fairly or manipulated through political maneuvers.
01:53There's a clear difference.
