The Supreme Court of Virginia Approved a Final Version of the State's Redistricting Maps on Tuesday.
In a Press Release, the Court announced that it had "unanimously approved maps establishing congressional and state legislative districts."
The Court's Order added that the Maps were "approved and adopted and, effective immediately."
"The Final Redistricting Maps prepared by the Special Masters are fully compliant with constitutional and statutory law applied, as the Court directed, in an apolitical and nonpartisan manner," the Order said.
The Maps were prepared by Two "Special Masters," Representatives nominated from each Party, as well as after "extensive public comment," the Order added.
The Supreme Court was tasked with Approving the Maps after a Bipartisan Redistricting Commission could Not agree on New Maps for Congress or the General Assembly.
Dave Wasserman, an Analyst with the Nonpartisan Cook Political Report, tweeted that the Map was "quite different from the special masters' first proposal."
Wasserman said that Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-7th District) finds herself in a more "tenuous" District, while Rep. Jennifer Wexton (D-10th District) is in a "safe" one, and Rep. Elaine Luria (D-2nd District) is "still very vulnerable."
