弗吉尼亚州最高法院推翻了选区划分计划，指控程序违规
Read, Watch or Listen
Washington: The Virginia Supreme Court on May 8 struck down a voter‑approved constitutional amendment and associated congressional redistricting plan, finding the Democratic‑led General Assembly violated required procedures when placing the measure on the April 21 ballot. The court's ruling declared the referendum null and void and quoted that the procedural violation "irreparably undermines" the vote. The 4–3 decision, authored by Justice D. Arthur Kelsey with a dissent by Chief Justice Cleo E. Powell, voids the new map that Democrats said would create several safe seats and potentially shift the delegation substantially. As a result, current districts remain in place, the ruling alters redistricting leverage ahead of the midterm elections, and legal and political actors are reassessing strategies this week.
