Washington, D.C. — Today, John Bisognano, President of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), issued the following statement in response to the Virginia Supreme Court striking down the new voter-approved Congressional map, a decision that enables Donald Trump’s gerrymandering crisis: 

“The people of Virginia—more than 3.1 million of them—voted to adopt a new Congressional map to thwart Donald Trump’s ongoing attempt to unfairly rig the 2026 midterm elections. The Virginia Supreme Court is wrong to take it upon itself to overrule the citizens of Virginia after they already voted.”
