Judge Blocks Virginia Redistricting

A Virginia judge issued an injunction blocking Democrats from moving forward with redrawing the state’s congressional map before the 2026 midterms.

Democrats hoped to pick up as many as four seats in Virginia but that plan is now on hold as the legal process plays out.

Appalachia. Judge was appointed by former Republican governor Bob McDonnell. Blocked on a technicality. How the heck did this important case wind up in the middle of nowhere?
