"Honig noted that the judge's block of the Democrats' map came just one day after Virginians voted to allow the legislature to proceed, indicating significant legal hurdles ahead."
"He explained that the RNC's challenges include substantive claims about the misleading phrasing of the ballot question, which asked if voters wanted to 'restore fairness to the process.'"
"Honig emphasized the procedural challenges, stating that Virginia's law requires a 90-day period after a law is passed before voting can start, complicating the Democrats' defense."

Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones plans to appeal.

The law requires a 90-day waiting period after passing a law before voting can occur, which complicates the defense of the Democrats' actions.
