Mahkamah Agung Virginia membatalkan peta kongres baru pada hari Jumat yang sebelumnya telah disetujui oleh para pemilih pada bulan April. Partai Demokrat kini tengah mempertimbangkan langkah tanggapan, termasuk rencana radikal untuk mengganti seluruh jajaran hakim pengadilan, meskipun para pemimpin partai tampaknya tidak mungkin menempuh langkah tersebut dalam waktu dekat.

Dalam putusan 4-3, pengadilan tinggi negara bagian tersebut memutuskan bahwa Partai Demokrat melanggar prosedur dalam menempatkan referendum tersebut pada surat suara. Peta tersebut sebelumnya diperkirakan akan mengubah delegasi DPR AS dari Virginia yang semula unggul 6-5 bagi Demokrat menjadi keunggulan 10-1. Para pemilih menyetujui perubahan tersebut dengan selisih suara tipis setelah kelompok-kelompok yang berafiliasi dengan Demokrat menghabiskan lebih dari $64 juta untuk upaya tersebut. Putusan ini membuat batas wilayah negara bagian tetap menggunakan aturan sebelumnya.

Apa yang dikatakan orang

Para pengguna X sebagian besar mengkritik rencana potensial Partai Demokrat Virginia untuk mengganti Mahkamah Agung sebagai perebutan kekuasaan yang munafik setelah putusan redistricting tersebut, dengan sebagian pihak memandangnya sebagai serangan terhadap demokrasi sementara yang lain menyebutnya sebagai respons putus asa atas upaya gerrymandering yang terhambat.

The 4-3 decision nullifies the April referendum and keeps the state's existing congressional maps in place. Democrats had sought the change to gain a stronger edge ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Tennessee Republicans voted Thursday to pass new congressional maps expected to eliminate the state's only Democratic U.S. House seat. Republican Governor Bill Lee signed the measure into law shortly afterward. The move followed a Supreme Court decision striking down certain majority-black districts as unconstitutional racial gerrymandering.

Louisiana decision striking down Louisiana's congressional map as a racial gerrymander (as covered in this series), experts warn the reinterpretation of Voting Rights Act protections could endanger minority representation nationwide. Louisiana has extended suspension of its U.S. House primaries until at least July 2026 amid expectations of a redraw.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on April 29 that Louisiana's congressional map, which included a second majority-Black district, constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act requires proof of intentional discrimination, not just disparate impact. The decision, in Louisiana v. Callais, limits race-based redistricting and prompts new maps in several states.
