Virginia Supreme Court voids redistricting referendum, halting mid-decade map
TL;DR Summary
Virginia's Supreme Court voided the narrowly approved redistricting referendum, blocking Democrats from a mid-decade map redraw after a legal challenge over whether the amendment qualified as the 'next general election'; the ruling would have shifted the state’s congressional balance from 6-5 Democrat-favored to 10-1, and could prompt a U.S. Supreme Court appeal.
