Supreme Court is death knell for Virginia's Democratic-friendly congressional maps
The Supreme Court rejected Virginia’s bid to restore a congressional map that would have given Democrats a chance to pick up four seats in the closely divided House of Representatives. The order, issued without dissent, marks a latest turn in mid-decade redistricting. The map’s defeat follows state court invalidation of a voter-approved plan, a decision the high court left in place. Coverage notes Democrats sought to use a map drawn by them and approved by voters, while opponents point to procedural flaws and court rulings that limited this option. The developing story centers on how federal action intersects with state redistricting and the potential effects on partisan balance in Virginia’s delegation.
