Here are a few recent headlines and developments involving the Supreme Court of Virginia, based on reporting available online:
- Virginia Supreme Court struck down a voter-approved congressional redistricting plan (the plan was intended to favor Democrats), dealing another major setback to Democrats ahead of the midterms.[7]
- Virginia Democrats sought to challenge that state ruling at the U.S. Supreme Court, filing an emergency appeal after the Virginia Supreme Court invalidated the ballot measure.[2]
- The Virginia State Board of Elections reportedly could not certify redistricting results while related legal challenges were pending before the Supreme Court of Virginia.[4]
If you tell me what you mean by “latest” (e.g., past 24 hours, past week, or past month) and whether you care most about criminal cases, elections/redistricting, or civil rights, I can narrow this to the most relevant items.
