Virginia redistricting battle

The redistricting fight in Virginia has reached a critical juncture as the state Supreme Court prepares to hear an appeal from the attorney general.

Voters had narrowly approved a referendum to redraw district lines, a move that could have netted Democrats up to four additional seats.

Republicans have argued that the measure was a 'power grab' that unfairly targeted rural voters.

The legal impasse comes as both parties ramp up their midterm campaign strategies and ad reservations.
