The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the state's redistricting referendum was unconstitutional and struck down the redraw of the state's House maps. "We hold that the legislative process employed to advance this proposal violated Article XII, Section 1 of the Constitution of Virginia," they wrote. "This constitutional violation incurably taints the resulting referendum vote and nullifies its legal efficacy." The decision is a considerable blow to House Democrats, who had hoped to balance out the redistricting efforts of several Republican-leaning states to improve their odds in the November midterms.
