Virginia Democrats ask state Supreme Court to halt redistricting ruling

3. I agree they won't take it but I think the reason is different. SCOTUS just ruled that in Louisiana, the election

process could be interrupted and districts redesigned, even though thousands had already voted.

The primary issue in VA is whether the Nov. 2025 election occurred after the October legislative vote; the VA SC said it did not, because early voting started (the VA constitution requires an election in between the first and second legislative vote, ostensibly to give voters a chance to dump representatives with whose vote they disagreed. And, even the 2026 primary has not occurred yet.

It would be difficult for an honest, principled SCOTUS to say that it's fine that the election in Louisiana is disrupted (among more important issues), i.e., early voting doesn't matter, but the Virginia election cannot be, because early voting matters. Since we don't have that, they will likely take the easy way out.
