\n

Virginia Democrats<\/a> suffered a major legal defeat after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene in a high-stakes redistricting dispute, leaving intact a Virginia Supreme Court ruling that invalidated a voter-approved congressional map overhaul.<\/p>\n

The justices denied Democrats\u2019 emergency request to block the Virginia high court\u2019s decision, which found the amendment process violated the state constitution because lawmakers advanced the proposal after early voting had already begun in the required intervening election cycle.<\/p>\n

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled May 8 in a 4-3 decision<\/a> that the procedural defect “incurably taints the resulting referendum vote,” effectively killing Democrats\u2019 effort to redraw congressional districts ahead of the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n

Virginia Democrats had argued the state court improperly overrode the will of voters who approved the amendment and claimed the ruling relied on an overly broad interpretation of election law by counting the start of early voting as part of the election itself.<\/p>\n

It is currently unknown which judges dissented.<\/p>\n
