4月22日（路透社）——弗吉尼亚州一家法院于周三叫停了一份经选民通过的、由民主党主导绘制的新国会选区地图，该地图可能会在11月的中期选举中让美国众议院的4个共和党席位易主。
塔兹韦尔县的法院称周二的公投无效，阻止该州采取任何行动实施新的选区划分方案。美国共和党全国委员会就此公投提起诉讼。

弗吉尼亚州总检察长杰伊·琼斯表示，其办公室将就该裁决提起上诉。
“正如我昨晚所言，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。我们期待在法庭上捍卫昨晚选举的结果，”琼斯在X平台的一篇帖子中说道。

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones said his office would appeal the ruling.
“As I said last night, Virginia voters have spoken, and an activist judge should not have veto power over the People’s vote. We look forward to defending the outcome of last night’s election in court,” Jones said in a post on X.
