Judge Blocks Virginia Redistricting Plan

Judge Blocks Virginia Redistricting Plan

Just one day after Virginia voters narrowly approved a plan to redraw congressional districts, a judge has voided the results, citing constitutional concerns.

The plan was expected to give Democrats a 10-1 advantage in the state's delegation ahead of the critical midterm elections.

President Donald Trump has praised the court's intervention, repeating unsubstantiated claims that the initial vote was 'rigged.' Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones has pledged to immediately appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court.
