Breaking: a VA circuit court has ruled the Redistricting unconstitutional

from The Charlie James Show Podcast

In a "Breaking News" opening for hour four on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, Charlie James reports that a Virginia Circuit Court has ruled the state's controversial new redistricting law unconstitutional. The court issued an immediate injunction, halting the General Assembly's attempt to redraw congressional maps that critics argued would have created a partisan 10-1 advantage for Democrats. James celebrates the ruling as a victory for the rule of law, noting that the judge found the move violated the state's constitutional guardrails against mid-decade gerrymandering, effectively throwing the state's 2026 election cycle into further chaos.

00:00 All right, welcome back to the program. Well, it looks like a Virginia Circuit Court has ruled that yesterday's redistricting vote in Virginia is unconstitutional. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger celebrating the win in yesterday's redistricting vote. Voters narrowly approving a new pro-democrat congressional map in a controversial referendum that critics have slammed as a quote power grab. The outcome threatens the already very tight Republican House majority. 00:26 Mark Meredith is live in Alexandria, Virginia with more on this and Mark that that vote ended up pretty narrow. It was a very narrow vote. But again, a Virginia Circuit Court has ruled that yesterday's redistricting vote is unconstitutional and issued an injunction blocking the results from being certified. Let's go to Vaughn in Sandy Springs. Vaughn, welcome. Hey, bud. Hey, bud.

And then you go out and away the streets. Let's rephrase that. The Republican voters aren't. The people that we have in the House and the Senate, Columbia, Washington, D.C., they are more than happy to sit back on their heels. I appreciate it, Vaughn. And again, we're even hearing now 02:14 that there are certain members of the Senate, Republican members of the Senate. 02:19 that are trying to take Mike Lee aside and say, listen, Mike, Mike, hey, quit calling, quit calling for the Save America Act.
