Washington — The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday denied Virginia Democrats' emergency request to reinstate a voter-approved congressional map that would have redrawn district lines to favor Democrats ahead of the November midterm elections. The unsigned order provided no rationale and recorded no public dissents. The decision leaves intact a May 8 Virginia Supreme Court ruling that found the April 21 referendum had violated state procedural rules, nullifying the amendment that proponents said could flip up to four U.S. House seats; Democrats appealed but the high court declined emergency relief on May 15. Related Supreme Court actions have also affected redistricting efforts in Alabama and Louisiana, shaping the pre-midterm map landscape.
