The Virginia Supreme Court has invalidated a redistricting referendum that had reshaped four of the state’s congressional districts to favor Democrats, handing Republicans a significant legal victory. In a ruling issued this week in Richmond, the court held that the referendum process used to adopt the new maps was constitutionally flawed, restoring earlier district boundaries seen as more favorable to GOP candidates. The decision comes as several Southern states, including Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana and South Carolina, rush to revise congressional maps following a separate U.S. Supreme Court ruling that weakened federal Voting Rights Act protections and complicated 2024 election planning.
