Virginia House Republicans are hanging their hopes for survival on the state Supreme Court blocking the new congressional map approved by voters on Tuesday night.

Approved narrowly via referendum, the new map nixes four GOP House seats, creating a likely 10-1 Democratic lock. Reps. Rob Wittman (R-VA), John McGuire (R-VA), Jen Kiggans (R-VA), and Ben Cline’s (R-VA) seats have been chopped under the new maps.
