The Supreme Court of the United States has now joined the Supreme Court of Virginia in choosing to nullify an election and the votes of more than three million Virginians, Spanberger fumed on the social platform X. These Virginians made their voices heard — casting their ballots in good faith to push back against a President who said he s entitled to more seats in Congress before voters go to the polls.
The justices declined to block a split decision from Virginia s top court that Democrats did not follow the proper procedures by sending the redistricting proposal to voters. Virginia Democrats filed an emergency appeal on Monday, insisting that their state s Supreme Court committed judicial defiance by blocking the map last week.
