The U.S. Supreme Court late on May 15 rejected an appeal by Virginia officials who sought to challenge the Virginia Supreme Court’s recent decision to block a congressional map approved by voters that favored Democrats.
The unsigned order in Scott v. McDougle provided no reasons for the decision. No justices dissented.
The Democratic officials had asked the nation’s highest court to block the state supreme court’s ruling.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
