Democrats Aren’t Done, File New Appeal After Virginia Map Struck Down – Full Article

Under the now-blocked redistricting plan, Democrats were viewed as having a stronger opportunity to compete in all but one of the state’s 11 congressional districts.

The majority on the Supreme Court of Virginia sharply criticized the congressional map approved by Democratic lawmakers, arguing that it appeared designed to heavily favor one political party.

The justices noted that Republican congressional candidates won roughly 47% of Virginia’s statewide vote in 2024, yet the proposed map could have resulted in Democrats controlling as much as 91% of the state’s delegation in the U.S. House.
