The congressional redistricting referendum was passed by Virginia voters last month and would have given Democrats a more favorable map.
The Virginia Supreme Court blocked a new Democratic-drawn congressional map from taking effect weeks after the voters narrowly approved the plan in a statewide vote. NBC News' Jane Timm explains how this delivers a major boost to Republicans as they defend their narrow House majority in the midterm elections.
The ruling is a significant victory for Republicans in the state, who argued the map was an "unconstitutional power grab," and would grant Democrats a 10-1 advantage.
