The Supreme Court of Virginia has denied a motion from Attorney General Jay Jones, D-Va., to nix an injunction that blocks the state Board of Elections from certifying the election results of Democrats’ attempt to gerrymander the commonwealth’s congressional districts.
“Upon consideration whereof, the Court denies the motion,” the court’s short rejection said Tuesday. Jones filed a motion to stop a Tazewell Circuit Court’s blanket ruling that invalidated the entire gerrymander measure election, declared it unconstitutional from the beginning, and blocked the vote from being officially certified. The state high court’s denial is similarly plenary.
