Virginia court blocks April referendum to redraw U.S. House maps
TL;DR Summary
A Virginia court issued a temporary restraining order blocking Democrats’ planned April referendum to redraw the state’s congressional maps, potentially derailing their bid to gain four U.S. House seats. The TRO, requested by the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Congressional Committee, lasts until March 18 while Democrats appeal. Early voting begins March 6, and the decision adds another legal hurdle in the broader national redistricting fight.
