Supreme Court rejects Virginia Democrats' bid to revive new congressional map

Why did Virginia's Supreme Court reject the state's new congressional map? 04:01

Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday rejected a bid by Virginia Democrats to revive its new voter-approved congressional map that was drawn to advantage the party for the upcoming midterm elections.

In an unsigned one-sentence order, the Supreme Court left intact a ruling from Virginia's highest court thatinvalidated an amendmentto the state constitution authorizing adoption of the new House district lines. No dissents were noted.

Virginia Democrats hadmounted a last-ditch effortto restore the new voting boundaries earlier this week, but it was considered a longshot, since the Supreme Court typically does not review interpretations of state law by a state's highest court.

Democrats have been working to counter Republican-led redistricting efforts in several states to bolster the GOP's chances of holding onto the House majority in November.

The mid-decade redistricting push began last year after Texas, at President Trump's urging, adopted a congressional map that could give Republicans five additional House seats. In response, California officials drew — and voters approved — new House boundaries that aimed to net Democrats five new seats, offsetting Republicans' potential gains in Texas. The Supreme Court hasallowedboth of those maps to beusedin the midterm elections.

State lawmakers in North Carolina, Missouri and Florida have alsoreconfiguredtheir House voting lines to give Republicans more of an advantage.

In Virginia, Democratic legislative leaders began their effort to redraw the state's congressional map in October, when the General Assembly first passed a proposed constitutional amendment allowing it to change Virginia's House districts in the middle of the decade. The measure was approved by state lawmakers a second time in January.

The issue went before Virginia voters in April, whoapproved the proposaland cleared the way for the new map.

But days later, the Supreme Court of Virginia blocked the redistricting plan. In a 4-3 decision, the court found that state lawmakers failed to follow the proper process for putting the proposal before voters, in violation of the Virginia Constitution.

State Democratic leaderssought emergency relieffrom the U.S. Supreme Court soon after and argued that the state court's decision was "deeply mistaken" on issues of federal law.

"By forcing the Commonwealth to conduct its congressional elections using districts different from those adopted by the General Assembly pursuant to a constitutional amendment the people just ratified, the Supreme Court of Virginia has deprived voters, candidates, and the Commonwealth of their right to the lawfully enacted congressional districts," they wrote in their request.

Virginia Republicans urged the high court not to grant Democrats' request, arguing that they "have no case on the merits" and that the Supreme Court of Virginia's decision hinged on state law, not federal law.

The request from Virginia Democrats was just the latest attempt to get the Supreme Court to intervene in state redistricting fights. While states had sought to change their maps for partisan gain, Republicans in some Southern states are also scrambling to redraw their House district boundaries after the Supreme Courtweakened a key provision of the Voting Rights Actin a landmark decision last month.

Since then, officials in Louisiana,Alabamaand Tennessee havesaid they'll pursue new mapsahead of their primary elections.

Fantasy Football: Games we're most excited for on the 2026 NFL schedule

The NFL schedule for the 2026 season has been revealed, and there are lots of matchups worth talking about. Here, the Yahoo Fantasy Football crew chooses the games they’re most excited to watch for the upcoming campaign. See which matchups Justin Boone, Matt Harmon, Scott Pianowski and Joel Smyth are looking forward to.

Reigning Super Bowl MVP returns to face former team

Chiefs at Seahawks, Week 7:It’s not often a Super Bowl MVP leaves his team in free agency, but that’s exactly the scenario Kenneth Walker III finds himself in after signing with the Chiefs. Even more exciting, is the fact he gets to face his former club on the road in Seattle. Whether it was the decision to not re-sign him or the committee backfield the coaching staff kept deploying him in, there doesn’t seem to be any love lost between Walker and the Seahawks’ management. When asked about the matchup this season, Walker told Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show “I would dap up all my teammates, but that’s about it”.

From a fantasy standpoint, it never hurts to have a little added motivation going into a game and I even factor that in slightly to my rankings and projections when a player encounters a team he used to be on. Walker is also coming off the hottest streak of his career, averaging 128.5 scrimmage yards per outing over his final six games (including the postseason). However, the Seahawks’ run defense will be up for the challenge. They allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and the second-fewest rushing touchdowns in 2025. Let’s hope Walker breaks a long run and gets to have a Marshawn Lynch-style celebration as he dives into the end zone.— Boone

No love lost between these two rivals on Sunday night

Cowboys at Giants, Week 1 (SNF opener):No better way to start than the beginning. We’ll all be heavily invested in the Cowboys offense from a fantasy standpoint, so it’s key to get an early look at that unit. We don’t have many questions about it but nevertheless, seeing how George Pickens is used in concert with a fully healthy CeeDee Lamb is a big variable as he proceeds to play on the franchise tag. The bigger questions are on the other side of the ball.

The Giants' offense is one I can’t quite wrap my mind around just yet. On one hand, there are several interesting young players who might be values in drafts, including Year 2 players in Jaxson Dart and Cam Skattebo. The entire unit is getting a facelift with a new coaching staff under John Harbaugh and looks poised to move toward more heavy and 12-personnel packages. At the same time, they might be playing the early season without orcertainly minus a fully healthy Malik Nabers. The star receiver is what can take this from a solid unit to a strong one. His status is one I’ll be closely monitoring all throughout the summer.— Harmon

High-scoring affair between two NFL powerhouses on tap

Bills at Rams, Week 5 (MNF):If this game doesn’t get your blood pumping, consult your doctor immediately. It’s a prime-time matchup between the last two MVP winners (Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford), and we’ve recently seen these teams have a pinball affair. The Bills and Rams met in Week 14 of 2024, withLos Angeles holding on for an exhilarating 44-42 victory. Josh Allen did his Superman thing for Buffalo that day (three touchdowns passing, three touchdowns rushing) while the Rams racked up 457 yards and five touchdowns of their own (the other TD scored on special teams). Puka Nacua put on a 12-162-1 clinic, Kyren Williams had 31 touches and scored twice, and Stafford threw for 320 yards and two scores, en route to a 132.6 rating. I don’t see how the teams are that much different now; little wonder there’s a 53.5 point total set for this Monday night showdown. Get your popcorn ready.— Pianowski

Jackson vs. Burrow matchup (health pending) in primetime

Ravens at Bengals, Week 17 (TNF): For years, the Lamar Jackson versus Joe Burrow prime-time games have fed families and fantasy football managers. Shootout after shootout has come with Ja’Marr Chase averaging 29.5 fantasy points over his last four with both QBs over 20 PPG. Prior to last season, Jackson was averaging 25.3 per game versus Cincinnati, one of the best marks by a player against a team in the NFL, but struggled mightily in the matchups last season, ultimately only throwing the ball 12 times in their Week 15 win. If both quarterbacks can stay healthy, I’d expect them to go back to their shootout ways and light up the scoreboard.

This time, the Bengals will finally host Baltimore in a primetime matchup, after the last four being played in Baltimore. A New Year’s Eve fantasy championship is what dreams are made of, as the two favorites in the division will square off to decide NFL playoff standings and fantasy championships.— Smyth

• A longtime fan of the franchise, Mathews tells PEOPLE he hopes to make viewers proud with his hosting debut

Mathews, 46, is marking his 25th year on television by hosting the90 Day: The Single Lifeseason 5 Tell All — a role he calls his “dream gig” after being obsessed with the show.

“I do feel like the super fan who won the golden ticket,” the host tells PEOPLE.

Mathews promises there will be “updates galore” during the spicy two-part event, where he says secrets will be revealed that even he wasn’t privy to. Anyone hoping for a shocking Tell All, he says, is "going to be thrilled.”

“This Tell All, we leave no stone unturned,” Mathews says. “We really go there. Nothing was off limits and I really tried to get answers.”

Mathews has grown quite familiar with90 Day Fiancéover the years, having watched the reality show since it premiered in January 2014. “There's something about this show that really reads as authentic,” he says. “And maybe it's because I also am an optimist, so I'm truly rooting for people. I love seeing people fall in love.”

So when the opportunity came for Mathews to host the latestSingle LifeTell All, he didn't hesitate to accept the offer, which he called “a dream come true.” The host has “such respect” for both the show andShaun Robinson, who began hosting90 Day FiancéTell Alls in 2016 and was “grateful” to step in when asked.

As host of the upcomingSingle LifeTell All, Mathews says his goal was to “be respectful” while pushing for “answers and accountability … and really the truth.” But as surprising as season 5 ofThe Single Lifewas, he promises the Tell All is even more shocking. “My jaw [and] all my chins were on the floor multiple times,” he says.

There is one moment at the Tell All, according to Mathews, that he “didn’t even see coming," during which he had to "set my cards down." He still “loved every second” of hosting and felt “surprisingly comfortable” in the host’s chair.

"The stuff you've been yelling at the TV, that I've been yelling too, I think we're finally going to get resolution," Mathews says. "And if not resolution, at least an explanation.”

As for whether viewers can expect to see more of Mathews in the90 Dayuniverse, he says, “Who knows? I would say, stay tuned. Dot, dot, dot.”
