The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday slammed the door on Virginia Democrats' last-ditch effort to revive a congressional map that would have handed them a commanding advantage in the 2026 midterms.

In a one-line order, the justices denied an emergency stay application filed by House Speaker Don Scott (D-Portsmouth), Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Fairfax), and other top Democratic lawmakers seeking to pause a Virginia Supreme Court ruling that struck down the voter-approved redistricting amendment.

The decision means the state's court-drawn 2021 map — which gave Democrats a 6-5 advantage — will remain in place for the November midterms. The voided amendment, ratified by 51% of Virginia voters on April 21, would have allowed the Democratic-controlled General Assembly to redraw the lines in a map projected to favor Democrats in 10 of the state's 11 districts.
