Virginia's Supreme Court blocked a voter-approved redistricting amendment that would have shifted the state's congressional map in Democrats' favor, delivering the state back to a 6-5 Republican advantage instead of the 10-1 Democratic lean the referendum would have created. Bouie is calling the ruling illegitimate and urging voters to pressure their representatives to ignore it — essentially asking them to implement a map the court has rejected. The court's 4-3 decision suggests genuine legal disagreement, but Bouie frames resistance to the ruling as the appropriate response rather than engaging with the court's procedural objections.
