Virginia GOP, Dems Engage in Heated Redistricting Dispute Before State Supreme Court
Virginia's Republican and Democratic lawmakers are going head-to-head over redistricting plans in a case that may decide as many as four congressional seats, with the Virginia Supreme Court hearing arguments on a Republican challenge to a plan approved by voters last week.
The Virginia Supreme Court heard arguments Monday on a Republican challenge to a congressional redistricting plan approved by voters last week that could help Democrats win as many as four additional seats in the House of Representatives. The plan, which was drawn by Democrats to increase their representation in Congress, is being challenged by Republicans who argue it favors party over geographic boundaries. A ruling from the court could have significant implications for the 2024 elections and control of Congress.
