Virginia Democrats ask Supreme Court to restore redistricting plan
Original: Virginia Democrats ask US Supreme Court to override state court on nixing redistricting plan
Virginia Democrats have asked the US Supreme Court to intervene after a state court threw out their redistricting plan, requesting that the justices override the state ruling. The dispute centers on legislative maps drawn after the 2020 census, a fight with potential implications for control of the Virginia General Assembly. Critics and supporters are framing the case as another test of how far courts will go in partisan map-drawing battles.
Why now: The Supreme Court petition directly affects Virginia's legislative maps and partisan control of the statehouse, making it politically consequential.
