Virginia Democrats Ask Supreme Court To Restore Congressional Map

•⁠ ⁠Virginia Democrats filed an emergency appeal asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate a congressional map ahead of this year’s midterms.

•⁠ ⁠The appeal follows a Virginia Supreme Court ruling that blocked the new map, saying the referendum process violated the state constitution.

•⁠ ⁠Democrats argue the decision could cost them up to four House seats and causes “profound and immediate” harm to voters and candidates.

•⁠ ⁠Chief Justice John Roberts requested a response by Thursday as the Supreme Court faces growing redistricting battles across the country.
