Virginia's Supreme Court overturned a voter-approved redistricting referendum (which passed 52-48% last month), citing procedural errors by the Democratic legislature. Columnist Jamelle Bouie argues Democrats must aggressively challenge the ruling or step aside for leaders willing to fight. The decision is a major Republican victory — it wipes out a map that would have given Democrats up to four additional House seats in the 2026 midterms. Democrats lost not because voters rejected redistricting, but because a court found their legislative process flawed — a distinction that matters for how urgently this needs fixing.
