Democrats will get up to FOUR More House seats in Virginia…

The Supreme Court of Virginia on Friday paved the way for state Democrats to move forward with a plan that would enable them to add four Democratic-leaning congressional districts, but the effort’s ultimate fate will still be under court review.

The ruling means that the Virginia General Assembly can hold an April 21 statewide referendum on redrawing the state’s congressional map. A circuit judge in rural Tazewell County acted last month to block the referendum, which seeks to amend the Virginia Constitution to temporarily allow mid-decade redistricting in time for this fall’s congressional midterm elections. Democrats appealed that ruling, and the state’s high court said Friday it would allow the referendum to go forward while the appeal is underway.
