The Supreme Court declined, in an unsigned one-sentence order with no noted dissents, to revive a Virginia congressional map that voters had approved in April, leaving intact a 4-3 Virginia Supreme Court ruling that found state lawmakers failed to follow proper constitutional process for placing the proposal on the ballot, according to CBS News. Said Virginia Democratic leaders in their emergency request: "By forcing the Commonwealth to conduct its congressional elections using districts different from those adopted by the General Assembly pursuant to a constitutional amendment the people just ratified, the Supreme Court of Virginia has deprived voters, candidates, and the Commonwealth of their right to the lawfully enacted congressional districts."
