“The lawsuit… was filed last week in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia. It follows an October decision by the court that declared the state’s congressional maps unconstitutional because they “pack” African American voters into a single district. Congressional Republicans have appealed that decision.

The disputed districts include four in South Hampton Roads: the 77th, held by Lionell Spruill Sr. of Chesapeake; the 80th, held by Matthew James of Portsmouth; the 89th, held by Daun Hester of Norfolk; and the 90th, held by Joe Lindsey of Norfolk.”
