The US Supreme Court on Friday denied Virginia Democrats' bid to restore the illegally gerrymandered congressional map.
Chief Justice Roberts deferred the case to the full court.
The high court, in an unsigned order, denied the application for a stay and kept the current map in place.
"The application for stay presented to The Chief Justice and by him referred to the Court is denied," the Supreme Court said in its response.
Last month, the Virginia Supreme Court denied a request from the Democrat Attorney General to pause a lower court order blocking the gerrymander referendum.
Virginia voters previously passed the redistricting referendum that will benefit Democrats and disenfranchise millions of Virginia independents and Republicans.
“The ballot measure gives the Democrat-controlled Virginia legislature — rather than the state’s current nonpartisan commission — temporary redistricting power through the 2030 election. It could have resulted in a 10-1 advantage for Democrats in Virginia’s congressional delegation, up from their current 6-5 edge,” Fox News previously reported.
Last month, the Tazewell Circuit Court ruled the Democrats’ redistricting referendum unconstitutional.
The judge entered an injunction blocking certification of the narrow “Yes” victory and denied Democrats’ request for a stay pending appeal.
The development was announced a couple of weeks ago by former Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II, who is leading the Election Transparency Initiative.
