In a statement, Democratic state Attorney General Jay Jones called out the court’s decision as “putting politics over the rule of law.”
Senator Tim Kaine criticized the timing of the state’s Supreme Court ruling, saying that “If the Virginia Supreme Court had legitimate concerns about this referendum, the time to stop it would have been before three million Virginians cast their ballots.”
Meanwhile, Republican-led states across the country continue to gerrymander following President Trump’s demand for mid-decade redistricting and the Supreme Court’s gutting of the Voting Rights Act last week. Most of those actions took or are taking place without state referendums, basically forcing through new congressional maps that disenfranchise Democrats and Black Americans.
One polling expert, Zachary Donnini of VoteHub, projects that nine Republican-led states will have successfully redrawn their maps this year, barring any court orders, as opposed to just one Democratic-led state. Thanks to a conservative-controlled Supreme Court, the GOP gets to stack the deck and deny Black people representation.
