Virginia

The state Legislature failed to follow the rules when it passed a proposed constitutional amendment on redrawing Virginia’s congressional map, the judge held.

The ruling blocks Virginia from denying voting rights for most felony convictions and comes as lawmakers advance a separate amendment for automatic restoration.

A divided federal appeals panel found that because the petitioner voluntarily allowed location tracking on his cellphone, the Fourth Amendment did not apply.

It’s the latest lawsuit in what’s been a flurry of actions the Trump administration has taken against states to ensure accurate voter rolls.

The proposed constitutional change would let lawmakers redraw congressional lines mid-decade, possibly giving Democrats as many as four new U.S. House seats.

The proposed measures would update state laws or overturn them. Some referenda seek to change the threshold to pass such propositions themselves.

Mike Jones won a special election in a Richmond-area district, preserving Democrats’ Senate majority as they prepare to take full control of the state.

A federal court ruling last November said Lindsey Halligan had been illegally appointed to the position in Virginia.

The case adds to lawsuits the Trump administration has brought against states that offer aid to illegal immigrants but not out-of-state U.S. citizens.

Shane Canestra credits training, attentiveness, and professionalism of his church’s security team with preventing a mass shooting at his church in 2023.

Federal suit claims the school board punished two boys for faith-based objections to pronoun and locker-room policies.

Ryan Samsel is suing after becoming what his lawyer described as ‘the most tortured individual by the Federal Government in recent American history.’

Dulles Airport, which opened in 1962 and serves more than 23 million travelers every year, is one of three key air hubs serving the nation’s capital.

James, who is facing up to 30 years in prison and millions of dollars in fines, alleges selective prosecution.

Party leaders tout wins from New York to Virginia as Republicans say results in blue states aren’t surprising.

Jones’s win completes a trio of Democratic victories in the Old Dominion.
