Tribunal Supremo de EE. UU. rechaza plan demócrata de redistribución en Virginia

Los votantes de Virginia aprobaron una enmienda constitucional que permitía a la legislatura estatal redistribuir los distritos congresionales antes de las elecciones intermedias de 2026, lo que podría aumentar la representación demócrata. La votación anticipada comenzó en medio de desafíos legales que cuestionaban la constitucionalidad de la enmienda. Un juez de Virginia bloqueó inicialmente la certificación de los resultados del referéndum, pero un tribunal de circuito luego mantuvo el mapa aprobado por los votantes a pesar de las demandas lideradas por republicanos. Posteriormente, el Tribunal Supremo de Virginia revisó la legalidad de la enmienda y la invalidó debido a violaciones procesales por parte de la legislatura estatal, manteniendo el mapa congresional existente. En respuesta, los demócratas de Virginia apelaron al Tribunal Supremo de EE.

UU. para restablecer el mapa aprobado por los votantes. El Tribunal Supremo de EE. UU. rechazó intervenir, dejando los distritos actuales para las próximas elecciones y respaldando la decisión del tribunal estatal sobre las violaciones procesales.
