The Virginia Supreme Court has declined to certify a closely contested referendum tied to the state’s new congressional redistricting plan, leaving the issue in the hands of a lower court as legal challenges continue.

The move effectively pauses any changes to the congressional map and leaves both parties waiting to see how the courts will ultimately shape the political landscape.
