Breaking tonight, Virginia's attorney general has asked his state's highest court to pause their order in validating that new voter-approved congressional map as he seeks a review from the United States Supreme Court.

The state court ruled earlier the Democrats violated procedural rules to put that map on the ballot.

The ruling essentially erases four Democratic-leaning congressional

districts in the state, likely giving Republicans a partisan advantage coming into the midterms.

Meanwhile, Tennessee's new Republican map is already facing two lawsuits. One of those suits brought

by the NAACP argues the state violated its own laws and constitutional limits in its rush to redraw its map.

We do a breaking news out of Alabama where officials there filed papers with the U.S. Supreme Court urging it basically to eliminate or to allow it to eliminate a Democratic-held congressional district.

In the year, 52, 255, 2060, when the country is

majority, minority, meaning more black and brown people are going to be controlling the legislatures

and the, you know, tentacles of power, white folks go and find themselves complaining

about how they're being redrawn

into these minority districts

that they now put in place today.

And they're going to be asking for the relief

that generations of black folks

fought and sought for 60 plus years.

So here we find ourselves down the undoing of the Voting Rights Act.

Here we find ourselves now creating districts where the legislature says,

I'm sorry, if we want this community of African American and Hispanics and others to have representation,

to have their voice in the state legislature, that's now racist.

That's somehow now just bad public policy.

This is a blow.
