Supreme Court of Virginia Rules New Congressional Redistricting Plan That Recently Passed as a Referendum Illegal

On May 8, the Virginia Supreme Court voted 4-3 to strike down the constitutional amendment the voters had approved on April 21 that redrew the U.S. House district boundaries. Here’s a story.

Here is the decision in Scott v McDougle, 260127. The basis for the decision is that the Constitution requires the legislature, when amending the state Constitution, to pass the measure twice, with an intervening legislative election in between the two legislative votes. The rationale is that first the legislature passes the idea, then the voters have a chance to choose legislators and presumably react to what the old legislature had done relative to the proposed amendment, and then the new legislative session votes on the same idea again.

In this case, the legislature passed the amendment the first time in late October, at a time when 40% of the voters had already case early votes in the legislative election. The Court majority felt this is illegitimate. They felt that the first legislative vote should have been held before any of the voters had cast their votes on legislative candidates.
