Virginia Supreme Court Strikes Down Democrats’ Redrawn US House Maps, Giving Republicans a Win

The court ruled 4-3 that the state’s Democratic-led legislature violated procedural requirements when it placed the constitutional amendment on the ballot to authorize the mid-decade redistricting. Voters narrowly approved the amendment April 21, but the court’s ruling renders the results of that vote meaningless.

Democrats' redistricting in Virginia is upended by state Supreme Court

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down a Democratic congressional redistricting plan that had won voter approval. The court’s 4-3 decision Friday marked a major setback for Democrats in a nationwide redistricting battle with Republicans ahead of the midterm elections. The plan approved on April 21 by voters could have helped Democrats win up to four additional U.S. House seats. But the court said state lawmakers violated procedural requirements when referring the plan to the ballot. Friday’s ruling, combined with a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that severely weakened the Voting Rights Act, has supercharged Republicans’ advantage in congressional gerrymandering heading into this year’s midterm elections.

Our national embarrassment doing what he does best... #SMH

In January, I stood up to my parent & refused to take his side in one of his wild imaginations. He got mad & cut contact & has been spewing vile, fabricated vitriol about me ever since. It makes me sad, but I hope the people who know and care about me won't believe the lies. Sigh. He is who he is, I guess.
