WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on Friday rejected Virginia’s bid to restore a congressional map that would have given Democrats a chance to pick up four seats in the closely divided House of Representatives.

The court’s order is the latest twist in the nation’s mid-decade redistricting competition. It was kicked off last year by President Donald Trump urging Republican-controlled states to redraw their lines and was supercharged by a recent Supreme Court ruling severely weakening the Voting Rights Act that opened up even more winnable seats for the GOP.

That’s about it. No one expected SCOTUS to grant it but it is nice to see it in writing and issued so quickly. Let them cope and seethe on THAT all weekend. LOL!

Especially since they are short on money this cycle. They wasted a lot of money they are going to need over the next few months. Without the USAID/NGO tap running wide open, it puts a little financial stress on the DNC.

There were no noted dissents and no opinion. I guess they lost even Jackson on this one.
