Twin court rulings reshape House battlefield as Democrats fight uphill redistricting battle

Two court rulings have given Republicans an advantage in the battle for control of the House, with Democrats facing a steeper hill to climb in the midterm elections. The Virginia Supreme Court struck down a voter-passed congressional redistricting ballot measure, and the Supreme Court ruled that race should not dictate the redrawing of legislative district maps. These rulings have led to the creation of more right-leaning seats ahead of the midterms.
