Several lawsuits are challenging Virginia's redistricting election, which saw voters narrowly approve a Democrat-backed redistricting plan. However, certification of the election was halted last week and the implementation of the new maps was also halted. The Supreme Court of Virginia is set to hear oral arguments in one of the cases Monday. Republicans argue that Democrats violated the state constitution in how they got the referendum on the ballot and are challenging the ballot language. The judge's order effectively blocks any actions to implement the newly adopted maps, including updating and altering election districts and voter registration records as well as using the maps in subsequent congressional and general elections. The deadline for a candidate for Congress in Virginia is May 26.
