Judge Blocks Virginia From Using New Congressional Maps

The judge ruled that all votes for or against the proposed redistricting amendment were unconstitutional.

Just one day after the Democrat redistricting referendum passed, a judge has blocked the move.

The judge ruled that all votes for or against the proposed redistricting amendment were unconstitutional, citing rules that impose certain requirements that the referendum did not meet.

The move shows that Democrats’ redistricting efforts in Virginia are not quite over despite the approval by voters.

There are a slew of cases making their way through the Virginia court system challenging different aspects of the referendum.

Shortly after the judge’s ruling, Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones indicated that his office will “immediately file an appeal.”
