周三，一名州法院法官叫停了弗吉尼亚州推进一项前一天经公投通过的重划选区工作，这给民主党人重新划分该州国会选区、将多达4个国会选区从共和党手中夺过来的努力设置了障碍。
塔泽韦尔县巡回法院法官杰克·赫尔利的裁决宣布，周二公投的所有赞成票和反对票均“无效”，并禁止州官员认证投票结果，也不得采取任何行动落实州议员通过的新选区划分方案。
在一份简短的裁决中，赫尔利认定该公投违反了州宪法的多项条款，认为其规避了90天的公众通知要求，并称提交给选民的投票议题“极具误导性”。
弗吉尼亚州总检察长、民主党人杰伊·琼斯表示，他将立即对这一裁决提起上诉。
“弗吉尼亚州选民已经表达了意愿，一名激进法官无权否决人民的投票，”琼斯在X平台的一份声明中写道。“我们期待在法庭上捍卫昨晚选举的结果。”
共和党全国委员会是就此次公投提起诉讼的多个共和党团体之一，该委员会称这一裁决“是弗吉尼亚州民众的重大胜利”。
“民主党人试图强行推行一项违宪计划，以操纵国会选区划分谋取私利，但法院识破了其真面目——这是一场赤裸裸的权力攫取，”共和党全国委员会主席乔·格鲁特斯在一份声明中说道。
Judge blocks Virginia from using new congressional maps, 1 day after redistricting vote passes
April 22, 2026 / 6:53 PM EDT / CBS News
A state court judge on Wednesday blocked Virginia from moving forward with a redistricting effort that passed in a referendum a day earlier, a roadblock in Democrats’ efforts to redraw the state’s congressional maps and tilt as many as four House districts away from the GOP.
The order from Judge Jack Hurley of Tazewell County Circuit Court declares all votes for and against Tuesday’s referendum “ineffective,” and bars state officials from certifying the results or taking any actions to put the new maps passed by state lawmakers into effect.
In a brief order, Hurley found that the referendum violated several clauses of the state constitution, arguing it skirted a 90-day public notice requirement and calling the question that was presented to voters “flagrantly misleading.”
Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones, a Democrat, said he will immediately appeal the ruling.
“Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote,” Jones wrote in a statement on X. “We look forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in court.”
The Republican National Committee, one of several GOP groups that sued over the referendum, called the ruling “a major victory for Virginians.”
“Democrats attempted to force an unconstitutional scheme to tilt congressional maps in their favor, but the court recognized it for what it is – a blatant power grab,” RNC Chair Joe Gruters said in a statement.
