Virginia Attorney General Asks State Supreme Court to Reverse Lower Court Decision on Redistricting

On January 25, Virginia’s Attorney General asked the State Supreme Court to reverse the lower court ruling of January 24 which found that voters do have standing to challenge the legislature’s power to pass a U.S. House redistricting bill this year. The Virginia Constitution says the legislature must pass redistricting for U.S. House in the odd year following the census. The legislature did not pass such a bill in 2011, but it has passed a bill in 2012. See this story.
