Supreme Court Rejects Virginia Democrats on Reviving Voting Map

The US Supreme Court rejected a last-ditch bid by Virginia Democrats to revive a voter-approved map that was designed to flip four Republican-held US House seats in the November election.

Without any public dissents, the high court left in force a Virginia Supreme Court decision that said the map was adopted in violation of the state constitution. The ruling dealt a blow to Democratic hopes of countering Republican redistricting in other states ahead of this year’s midterms.
