Summary
The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down a Democratic-backed redistricting map, citing procedural errors in its passage. The ruling means that the state’s 2026 midterm elections will use the same district maps as in 2022 and 2024, which Democrats currently hold 6-5. Democrats have reacted with fury, accusing the court of denying the will of the people and framing the decision as an act against the Voting Rights Act.

Democrats have accused the court of undermining democracy, while Republicans have hailed the decision as a victory for the rule of law. The controversy has also brought to the forefront the issue of partisan gerrymandering and the struggle for control of the electoral map.
