Virginia Redistricting Referendum Blocked

The legal battle over Virginia's congressional boundaries has intensified following a judge's decision to freeze the results of a landmark redistricting vote.

While Democrats celebrated a projected 10-1 advantage in the state's House delegation, Republicans successfully argued that the referendum process was unconstitutional.

President Donald Trump has alleged, without evidence, that the vote was 'rigged,' further inflaming the partisan divide.

The state's Attorney General has pledged an immediate appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court, as both parties look toward the midterms with high stakes.
