The Supreme Court of Virginia struck down a voter-approved constitutional amendment on May 8, 2026, in a 4-3 ruling that found Democrats violated procedural requirements when placing the redistricting measure on the ballot, nullifying an April referendum and preserving the state's current 6-5 Democratic congressional map instead of a proposed 10-1 advantage. Democrats have filed an emergency appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court while Republicans celebrate what they call the defeat of an attempted gerrymander, with the outcome carrying implications for control of the U.S. House in the 2026 midterms.
