Washington. On Monday, Virginia Democrats filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to halt a Virginia Supreme Court decision that last week voided a voter-approved constitutional amendment to adopt a new congressional map; the state justices ruled 4-3 that the process violated state procedural rules after early voting had begun. The filing, submitted May 11 by Democratic state leaders and Attorney General Jay Jones, asks the high court to restore the map that Democrats said would produce four additional winnable U.S. House seats; this week the dispute has intensified nationwide amid mid‑decade redistricting battles sparked after calls last year to redraw lines and recent federal court rulings affecting voting law.
