A court stops new election areas in Virginia
123
The USA soon has important elections. People call them Midtermwahlen. People elect the house of representatives. In the state Virginia was a plan. The Democrats wanted new borders for election areas.
Many voters liked the plan on April 21. But the highest court says no. The parliament did not follow all rules. The time for the vote was wrong. The court says: The vote is invalid.
Parties often move borders for more power. People call this Gerrymandering. The Democrats wanted 4 new seats. Now this is hard for them. Donald Trump is happy about the rule.
Other states also change their election areas. Examples are Tennessee, Alabama and Louisiana. There the Republicans often have the power. The fight for power is very hard in the USA.
