(The Center Square) – Virginia’s Democratic governor responded to an invalidated election result and the U.S. Supreme Court’s denial of an emergency stay on Friday by saying she’s committed to the state “choosing the representation we deserve.”

Democratic majorities in the Legislature were in concert with Gov. Abigail Spanberger to have the congressional map redrawn, even with candidates confirming plans to run in districts that did not exist before voters on April 21 were to decide a constitutional amendment allowing a redrawing of the map in the middle of the decade. And while litigation had yet to confirm the election, worth $70 million in spending to Democrats, was legitimate.
