The Virginia Supreme Court will allow a lower court order temporarily blocking the commonwealth from certifying the results of a redistricting referendum to remain in place, dealing a blow to Democrats who sought to challenge the ruling.
The high court on Tuesday denied a motion by Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D) to appeal last week’s ruling from a Tazewell County circuit court judge that found the referendum unconstitutional.
“It is the process, not the outcome, of this effort that we may ultimately have to address,” the court said.
Basically they let the Tazwell Judge's stay of certification stand while they ponder on the issue.
I'm thinking right-leaners might have a bit better than a 50-50 chance of the vote being overturned on process grounds. I don't think that the VASC was too keen on the way it went down.
