Virginia Supreme Court invalidates a new voter-approved redistricting map, a significant win for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterms. The court ruled that the legislative process for advancing the map violated the Virginia Constitution, nullifying its referendum vote. The map, approved by a narrow 51% to 49%, aimed to grant the Democrat-controlled legislature temporary redistricting power through 2030 and create a projected 10-1 advantage for Democrats in congressional seats, up from the current 6-5. Republicans had quickly filed a lawsuit against the effort, and RNC chair Joe Gruters hailed the ruling as a "HUGE WIN" for election integrity. #votingrights #VirginiaPolitics #redistricting #elections #MidtermElections #redistrictingreform #midtermelections2026 #electionintegrity, #VirginiaSupremeCourt #chuckpointwalker https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virginia-supreme-court-rules-new-congressional-map
