Campaigns on both sides are spending a lot of money on advertising, according to Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at University of Mary Washington.
“What you’re seeing is an effort on the part of pro-amendment folks to really tie this to the actions of Texas and President Trump to level the playing field in their words,” Farnsworth said. “Whereas the anti-movement is very focused on pointing out the departure of this proposed constitutional amendment from previous efforts to reduce partisan gerrymandering in Virginia.”
